Ugh...my ds brings home those "Zac is a Rat" pamphlets...sadly, they go right in our trash. I used to have ds read them, but now it's just so - STUPID.
Luckily, ds is getting his own reading group with teacher but I think she is still giving him books that are too easy, which I told her recently (nicely). We talked about ds 'whole language' reading, and she admitted that he probably won't even benefit that much from the phonics approach since so many of the phonics rules are broken more than they are used.
Melessa...you can't just chose your own AR books for ds? We just use our local library and choose books there for ds to test with. DS can test at any level he pleases...but of course we try to keep them level-appropriate. They won't let you do that?
