[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]4th grade reading instruction is what is appropriate for a 4th grade classroom. That some of the students are only reading at a 1st grade level in 4th grade doesn't make 4th grade reading instruction "inappropriate" [/quote] Yes it does. Would you give your first grader instruction that is appropriate for a 4th grader?[/quote] Fourth-grade reading instruction may not be appropriate for an individual student, but it is what is appropriate for a fourth-grade classroom -- by definition. If an individual student is not ready for fourth-grade reading instruction, then the student is working below grade level -- again by definition. And no, the Common Core standards do not say, anywhere, that schools must provide fourth-grade instruction, and only fourth-grade instruction, to all fourth-grade students, regardless of the level the students are working at.[/quote]
