[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nowhere did anyone say their child's reading level was fifth grade.  Nowhere. If you made that assumption you extrapolated from a post that said something entirely different. Go back and read the posts again and then you might want to take back every single thing you just said.[/quote]

I think you need to realize you mentioned repeatedly that your DS was reading books up to a 5th grade level and you defended his comprehension of these books post after post.  You made a point to compare him to a ten-year-old.  Do not be so obtuse.  
  
It is the Harry Potter effect.  Once a kid can read a parent puts that book in front of them and claims a fifth grade level.  [/quote]

+1,000,000  It is so annoying.  Again, once you start having reading tests administered by someone trained at the school, you will see what we mean, OP.  "Reading" at home a book that you deem to be at a "fifth grade book" is not "reading" a fifth grade book.  It is decoding and getting SOMETHING out of the book, but missing a tremendous amount.  People pounce on that because they have been there, done that and know what you're in for in a year or so.  No one is taking away from the fact that your son sounds like a great reader.  He is not, however, almost 100% for sure, "reading" a 5th grade book.  He lacks the life experiences to do that.  [/quote]
