DD came home from the first day of second grade saying she was level O for guided reading. She was Q at the end of kinder, and last year the teacher said at her level the letters were meaningless distinctions, they'd work on reading comprehension. They never said what level she ever scored at. I also feel DD can struggle to retell, to recall random details when pressed, and sometimes reads so quickly she misses the point. But she also tells me weeks later specific ways Harry Potter differed between the book and movie, practically quoting the details from the book. It is tricky! I'd sincerely like to hear the teacher's insight into it all. But I'd also like to hear what she says to my kid spending a full year in school and going down. Well, it'll give us a clear opening to start a discussion about differentiation after BTSN
