My daughter is in 3rd grade. She can not read yet. She
was tested by a reading specialist who scored her reading
ability at a kindergarten level. Her school is still
teaching her on the 3rd grade reading level. They say that
this is appropriate because her comprehension level is very
high and her grades are very good because they read
everything to her and she is able to answer correctly. So
they are trying to say that she will be fine and eventually
learn to read. I however strongly disagree with them. I
have our yearly EIP meeting this month and I am trying to
find information on why you should not teach children at
their frustration level or anything I can find to make them
help her learn to read. Please help!!!
