acs - that is such a cute story! Hope you got it in his baby book.

Dottie - that is our experience too - anyone above grade level is grouped together. Which in our case is 5 kids reading 2nd grade level and above. But in our case, the only reason I know my DS is the top reader is from volunteering during reading time and being nosy, not from the teacher.

So Cathy - if your teacher told you DS is the best reader in the class, that's something anyway! Your son sounds like he's doing great! I always feel like they don't want to tell you that your kid's ahead of curve at our school. We get these worthless report cards that lists every skill for DS as "As Expected".
