Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy anyone convince teacher to increase reading level?

I think it really depends on your district. My DS was assessed by reading specialist and his classroom teacher when he was in K, because I told the teacher that he could read at higher level. I did not ask him to be assessed. I think it was just their process of making sure that he would be reading at an appropriate level. Sure enough they were able to give him higher level books to read. Also he was assigned a higher reading level in RezKids. Although at that level it was still easy for him, I was OK with it because they wanted to make sure that he comprehended well before moving on to next levels.
