[quote=Anonymous]I'm a first grade teacher and I can definitely say not to worry where your kid is in reading. Spend a lot less time on worrying about your child's reading level and more time planning out how you will make sure to read to and listen to your child read every single day. The single best way a parent can help their child in school is by reading. Kindergarteners come in with a huge range in reading levels. Some are just working on letter sounds, some are on reading behaviors (turning the pages the correct direction) and some are reading a year above grade level. The target for being "on level" by the end of the year is to be reading C or D level books. Again, spend less emery on the level and more energy on leaving baskets of books around the house. Pile a couple books by your child's nightstand and kitchen table. Snuggle up and read favorite books together, visit the public library and check out books as well as read there together. If you want to invest in an online reading program, I suggest Razkids. It has leveled books that can read to your child, your child can then read it and it gives a comprehension test at the end. What's nice is that your child can tape himself reading the story and you can listen to him reading. Have fun reading together![/quote]
