Kareninminn: glad to hear you've made progress and fingers crossed you'll get the reading changes soon.

m2gts: hope your little one gets better soon and it has a good effect on EVERYTHING!

And now, my good news ... so glad so many of us are seeing strides in our schools: Principal pulled me aside today to tell me that DS will be moving classrooms to read with another teacher and a group of 3 other children, one of whom is reading even farther ahead than he is. Apparently, most of the K teachers (there are 5 of them) fought to keep their accelerated learners in their own classrooms, but school leadership told them that 1 does not make a reading group ;-) . I'm doing a big-time happy dance here in MD!

Funny, this is the same principal who told me last June that kids his age who read far ahead don't understand what they are reading. Guess my little guy and a few others showed her!
