And was this based on comprehension, speed, Dibels? Obviously he'll be able to read what he wants at home. Is he okay with the lower level at school?
It's a DRA assessment, so it's a combination of speed, accuracy, fluency and comprehension. The level he is at now is where he was written up as ending last year. I have already ascertained that the teacher did not keep her records up to date at the end of the year so this is already false. It has essentially put him back 3 or 4 levels of where he was in November according to them and is about 10 levels down on where he reads at home.
He is not happy; we are supposed to read and re-read the book every day and discuss it - look for visual clues within the story etc too. He said he might read it to the younger boys as a bedtime story but refuses to discuss them.
