I wouldn't necessarily believe the reading level the teacher is getting. Some teachers (like our 1st grade teacher) figured that once you were above grade level, it wasn't worth investing a lot of time to figure out what they should be reading.
Yup. This was an issue for us because they stopped when they determined that DS was at the end of the year reading level wise. We pointed out that as part of his assessment for his GIEP they needed to continue to see what his actual reading level was. Unfortunately they tested him on a bad test day (which was also his birthday) which put him somewhere near end of second grade/beginning of third.
So we just let him be his own guide. He can read what he finds interesting at home.
We're a bit jaded in part because they haven't made a lot of accommodations for DS (beyond the standard enrichment) nor have they made any accommodations for his age (after returning from school breaks it takes him a few weeks to re-adjust). They are doing some supplemental math for him in his homeroom which as been good news for us...
