This discussion has been very enlightening to me, thanks for starting it! It inspired my own thinking about DS8's reading level, which I posted elsewhere on here.
I am envious of those of you who have MAP scores, apparently our school does nothing like this for assessment and I wish they did because it sounds like a very useful tool for advocating for your kid.
It seems to me that perhaps the teacher thinks she was reading on the 3rd grade level because that is the highest level they have offered your dd and she read it well. But they didn't offer her anything higher. It does seem strange that she didn't take the test scores more seriously. I mean, why do the assessment if you are not going to use it to meet the needs of the student?!
