Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Our kids' elementary school also grouped children by level from K-3. Our daughter taught herself to read when she was three or four, and by the time she was in Kindergarten, she was reading at third grade level. She was grouped with the advanced readers in Kindergarten for reading--still below her actual reading level, but much better than spending time learning how to write letters and form words. She had spelling tests regularly in Kindergarten, and then was promoted to second grade the next year. Our son, who is three years younger than our daughter, also had basic reading and writing levels before he started school, just because he lives in our very-literate household, but also because he was usually in the room with us when I was helping his sister with homework. He's a whiz at math--at least in understanding the concepts--but spelling is very challenging for him.
