Hi All.

DD7 is at the end of first grade. Overall, we are satisfied with the school she attends, her teacher, and her gifted program.

Yet, this last marking period, her reading scores leveled off. She started out first grade reading at a 4th grade level, last marking period she was at 4.9, and again she is at 4.9. Her teacher included a note saying not to worry, that kids who are this high often level off. Is that the case?

I don't know if she is just not getting reading material that is at a challenging enough level? There are many kids in her class that fall into the gifted range, so I would guess that she is in a reading group with higher level readers.

Or maybe it has to do with what she chooses to read?

Any ideas/advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
