Understanding your Child's Reading Level
LEVELS:
PC: Print Concepts
(Print concept tasks include: show me the front of the book, back of the book, capital letter, lowercase letter, one letter, one word, the first part of the sentence, the last part of the sentence, where we should start reading, etc.)
RB: Reading Behaviors (Students are starting to use pictures to help them "read" and can maintain the language pattern after a few pages are read to them. These children can point to each word read and are working hard to read the words! They are almost readers. :)
A-Z: Students are sounding out words and reading books of increasing difficulty.
Students are expected to be reading at a level D or above by the end of kindergarten. Every child is expected to move up 4 levels regardless of their starting point; therefore, a child starting kindergarten on a level B will be expected to leave kindergarten on a level F or above. This expectation is created so all children achieve or exceed one year of growth per year. We are confident that all of our children will be able to do this.
Remember that reading is more than merely reciting the words. Students need to demonstrate understanding by answering questions about the text they read. You can help them practice by asking them questions after reading.
Fictional Comprehension: Ask your child to retell you a story they have read, without looking at the book, supplying details about the beginning, middle & end. Additionally, ask them to tell you the main idea of the story, cause & effect, problem & solution and does it remind them of something in their life or another story they read.
Non-fictional Comprehension: Ask your child to identify the main idea of the book & details that support the main idea. Help them use any charts or diagrams in the book to better understand what they have read.
***Discourage "I Don't Know" responses and encourage your child to respond based upon what they have read & what they know from their own connections or prior experience.
Thank you for all of your support from home!
