[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is this your first?

Do you know that word study lists in first and second grade are about creating mastery of certain word patterns and blends and not about the actual words?

It is not like a traditional spelling list like your kid will get in 3rd grade  which is about spelling.

The early lists are about patterns. It is as simple as that [/quote]

And I would bet if you were able to look at things objectively, you would see that your daughter is not yet at the point of maatery where she is effortlessly and fluently transferring the knowledge of the word patterns over into other areas of writing and perhaps reading.

Small group instruction or even pull outs is a good thing for her.

When it clicks she will advance quickly but I bet the teachers do not see it clicking yet across different areas.

The past two teachers are stonewalling you because you are making this first about the other students, secondly about the groups, and thirdly about a preschool IQ test which is generally known to be a very fluid and innaccurate test score due to the young age.

You need to focus your questions on skill mastery and perhaps ask about one on one time with a reading specialist.[/quote]
