So anyone have any thoughts on what I should do? I am going to approach it as we discussed, i.e., that this is a problem b/c DS is not making appropriate progress. But they will argue he is making progress even though he didn't pass the test and move to the next level. They will say he improved in fluency and his summaries are good, he just didn't pass the test. Any ideas how to counter this?
And, I would like him re-tested to make sure he wasn't just having a bad day (when he told me what his teacher said that he e missed on the test, he commented that he may have accidently skipped a page when he was reading (you know two pages get stuck together or something). He may just have been having a bad day. (Allergies are bad and he's all drugged up, etc. it's a bad time of year.) Can he be re-tested (obviously with a different text)? Should I ask that they re-test him prior to the conference so that we are sure we are talking about lack of progress? Or, should I wait to discuss that at the conference?
Any ideas would be so appreciated.
