Okay, I'm not sure if this is a good test or not but I went to this page
http://www.dearteacher.com/content/find-your-childs-reading-level and used it to see what it would tell me. DD8 can read independently up to Grade 5 (she's in 3rd), she's at instructional Grade 6, independently Grade 7 and 8th up is "frustration" or above her level so I guess she can read independently at least 2 grades up and her grade reading level is actually at 6th/7th. But that's just sight reading, I don't know how to see how her comprehension is, so it basically confirms what I already knew.
So now I'm not sure what to think. My hubby was even shocked by the words she could read…at the higher levels she was sounding them out, so I know she's using that skill...
