we had a similar problem last year with the teacher and reading specialist allowing one of my children just to languish at the same level all year without providing the instruction needed to help him move up, and it took a toll on him psychologically. He was watching everyone else in the class change levels, and couldn't understand why he wasn't as well.
Exactly. This is exactly my concern. I am fine as long as my kid is fine and happy and feels like he's learning. I am not pushing him to be at a certain level becasue *I* need him to be there. If he weren't feeling so demoralized and frustrated I wouldn't worry about it. But this is exactly what is happening and I feel it's unnecessary to do that to a child because of a cap or ceiling. And if he really isn't progressing and it isn't due to a cap or ceiling I don't want my kid going to reading day after day and for months and months and not learning and progressing.
