I just had to comment on this. We moved from a big school to a small one when my daughter was in first grade, and the new one had a 90 minute reading block for 1st and second graders but no science or social studies. My dd was having fits because she had to read their little stories for that 90 minutes. Not nonfiction books. It didn't take long for the teachers to just let her read what she wanted after finishing what they wanted her to do.
