Had a friend over yesterday and she moved to SC last year. Her daughter was in grade 1 and said that they assessed her at 4.5 reading level and comprehension, yet she was talking about books that DD was reading last summer, like Ramona. DD was assessed at grade 3 level is more like Heidi, Judy Moody level -- though I know there are different levels of Heidi.
She is getting more into books are that are more like 100-300 rather than double digits. Though she can enjoys the topics more of Boxcar Kids (I think that is the series).
I just wondered how different are the levels across the country. How do you assess with Iowa scale when the scales are so different?
