Leveling program? The only thing I know about is AR and Damian isn't allowed to go any further than 2nd grade in that whether he wants to or not. Or at least that is the way I understand it. We just purchase books he wants lol and let him fill his head with information.
That seems odd to me that they won't allow him to use AR above 2nd grade lvl.
My 5 yr old in K HAS to read books for AR that are around the lvl he tested at - he can read books at 1.4-2.4 (I think that's the range, he tested around 1.8 at the time last Sept). He actually has taken quizzes on books that go above that range now - up to 3.6.
The whole point of AR is to have them reading books at THEIR level, not at their grade lvl or age. I would question the school about that as they should be testing his reading ability and comprehension and then creating a range for him. AR doesn't really 'do it's job' if the kid isn't allowed to read at a challenging level, kwim?
