[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think reading 2 grades above level is likely 'average' in high SES school districts and not exactly something to write home about.[/quote]

we just got an eval back from KK that evaluated dc for a possible learning disability.  Reading levels etc were ranked by grade - he is in 2nd.  His reading level was that of a 5th 1/2 grader, comprehension 5th nothing below 4th, yet he gets "3s'" on each report card until the last and is not in the highest level reading group but rather in the middle of the alphabet.

My dd is in Z - the highest reading level - in 4th.  So I tend to agree with this assessment that kids are judged relative to each other.  I had no idea that my child was reading above grade level - I was frustrated and angry as all hell that I could not get him to advance the way his sib had.  But the benefit of this is they identify problems that might be ignored at other schools because dc is passing every subject but clearly has a problem with math......[/quote]

Are dd and dc in any advanced reading programs at your school? [/quote]
