All this retelling stuff is interesting to me because I don't feel like we've ever encountered it. At least, I've never heard anything about it from DD or a teacher. I don't know if this is variable by state. DD doesn't seem to be evaluated for reading level like other kids here are (in fact, I don't think I've ever been given a reading level for her, not that I care). She does have to summarize a lot on assignments, which is not an issue for her, so maybe it's a strength and that's why it doesn't come up.
