This afternoon I left work early so the munchkin could go in and meet his newer new teacher. He will be entering the 3rd grade this September. His newer new teacher wanted to meet him and spend an hour with him to assess his reading skills. This is what Ms. Newer New Teacher had to say,
"[Munchkin] is excellent at decoding and reading! He is reading at a 6th grade instructional level. This is the level he should be reading. The words and vocabulary meanings that he struggled with were at 6th grade level with historical or scientific nature. Because we need to continue to make progress with reading to keep interest; I would recommend that [munchkin] reads scientific or historical books or biographies at a sixth grade level This will build his vocabulary and background knowledge to catch up with his decoding sills. I also noticed that it would benefit him to read about geography, locations around the world or (with his interest in animals), he could read about where animals live around the world. Ms. Newer New Teacher."
Um hello!!! My 8 year old is reading at a 6th grade level!! I always knew he was a genius! Now if only he wasn't acting like he was a 6th grader...ugh!!
