When DD6 was younger she refused to read because someone had told her that she wasn't supposed to be able to read until she was 5. (I know, don't get me going)
Well, she started kindergarten this year reading some, but was told by her teacher that her pronunciation wasn't good enough to go to 1st grade for reading. We fought this and she finally moved up, not just for reading but for the entire day.
I just got her STAR reading scores for the year and according to the scores, she went from reading at the 1.4 (1st grade 4th month) level to reading at the 4.8 (4th grade 8 month)level!
She now loves reading and is trying to get the most books read over the summer from her entire class.
