I think I need to say that our school uses a computer test to screen reading level every 9 wks. It uses time, comprehsion, and working vocabulary to determine level.
I am sure if the test was on speed and comprehension alone she would be at amuch higher level. She is constantly reading higher level books and does great on her AR quizzes.
I think the problem is not lack of reading or reading progress but lack of working vocabulary at the 3rd grade level.
Which is why I am trying a structured approach this summer.
We don't even have reading groups, It is one size fits all, except for the AR requirements which are determined by level.
Amen! I've been looking for chapter books for DD4. She needs something with at least some girl-appeal.
My DD use to love big apple barn which is about horses and now she likes Ramona and Judy Moody now.
Anyone use swaptee to trade books?
