[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You keep saying that she is acing the tests. What tests are you talking about? don't they do some sort of standardized testing already in 2nd grade? Can you tell whether your daughter is at from those? It seems like at the fall conference they told you your daughter is right at grade level for reading. That does sound like she is middle of pack if not slightly below. I will definitely investigate this particularly you thing she is very bright. The top group is likely reading several grade level above. [/quote]

They take a word study test every Friday with that week's words. The words have to be sorted and spelled correctly. Those are the tests I am talking about. I don't understand why she basically drops down a group every year if she is not missing anything on the tests. If they are not using that as their assessment tool, what is the point of the test?[/quote]

The reading groups are based on assessment of reading.  Not spelling.  You need to stop worrying about what group she is in - and find out if her reading level is progressing.  [/quote]
