Thanks everyone for your thoughts. After having ds read the books sent home and re tell the story, 2 books he could re tell pretty easily. He did have trouble with 1 book about a dog who eats, plays, sits and sleeps. When I say trouble he flip flopped 2 middle dog activities. Yet, in reading the book, it didn't matter what order you said the dog did things (they didn't build on each other at all.) so, I'm guessing that would be a fail, but really he knows and comprehends.
Fun fact about ds teacher- she is very strict, rules orientated, no thinking outside the box, and definitely not gifted- certified. So, I'm not sure how flexible she will be with this.
Zen Scanner- interesting.
Dude- exactly what I was thinking!
Bobbie- I'll keep that in mind.
Mumofthree- your post was very helpful to read! Thank you! I think the fact the my ds is a self taught reader and would have balked at books like these at 2.
I am trying hard to remain positive when really my ds needs a different teacher who understands him.
