any elementary teachers here???? my daughter is in kindergarten. I am being told that she is reading at level 12. what does this mean? When I was her age, we hade "grade levels" for reading. "she is reading at a 5th grade level", etc. Well, I do know that the goal is for the kindergarten kids to read at a level 4 by the time they are out of kindergarten. She is at level 12 so I know it is good but I don't understand the "levels". any help????? |
sorry no help here. I teach Pre-K and have for 8 years. I've never heard of reading on grade 12. Sounds like she's doing very well though. |
I am in my last year of college to be an elementary teacher, and I am not for positive, but I'll explain the best that I can. Find out the publisher of the program, and run a search for "__________ reading level 12". You should be able to find out how that corresponds to grade level. Most other reading programs use a more obvious system: Woodcock Johnson, the commonly used special education assessment, for example uses: level 1.0 = where the average 1st grader would be at the start of the school year; level 1.5 = 1st grader, mid year; 3.9 = third grader in the later part of the year; etc. That would probably be your best bet in finding it. |
Could it be 1.2? |
well, she definitely said level 12. and i remember at the open house they said they had one kindergartener finish at level 40 but that was very unheard of. so i assume it is not 1.2 well, i have emailed the teacher and asked her to explain so hopefully I will hear something tomorrow. she is very good at getting back to me. I absolutely love her teacher. I wish they could all be as great as her :) |
I don't like that they test kindergartners at all. They should be learning to socialize well. Reading is great, but to test them is just wrong. However, good luck - I hope she's reading on a good level. |
