[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a strange misunderstanding on this board that either a child can comprehend a book or not.

In reality, it's more of a spectrum and if a child can read a certain level book for pleasure he or she does actually comprehend it!

This is true.  But there is also a strange phenomenon on this board where parents see their child one book at 5th grade level, or even one page here and there of that book, and claim their child to be reading 5th grade level books as if that is their reading level.  Obviously, I can't read people's minds, but this has come out in subsequent replies time and time again.

I have had my DD assessed by professionals.  She has had case studies written about her.  Her reading level is all over the place during a given time.  Decoding at one level, words in isolation, fluency, stamina, comprehension, literary elements, etc.  All different levels.  And her independent reading level at home is always higher than what she is assessed at.  So, while it is true that she comprehends what she reads for pleasure, there is so much more going in reading at school.  I could say she reads at a high school level on these boards, or I can say what professionals have actually assessed her at.  Those who have kids not is school where assessments are taking place really have no idea.  They come across as ridiculous on these forums, and people pounce on them.  It is ugly, but it is also fair.  [/quote]
