Easton Reading JK
While I know Hadley was reading early, I can't seem to find a post about her leveled reading in JK. So, I really think I should note Easton's.
I did find a post about early SK for her...http://ajax.verkley.com/blog/leanne/index.cgi?sid=1096&user=
Basically, she was level 10 in November of her SK year.
I have been testing Easton slowly using PM leveled reading. He is reading at a 7 level. This is equivalent to an E in Fountas and Pinnel. Or... where teachers hope he would be at when he finishes SK. He still has April, May and June of JK to go. Plus a whole year of SK.
When Hadley was in SK, level 6 is where they hoped she would be at when she finished grade 1. (Things change so fast!)
I volunteer once a week in the grade one class and Easton is (in my opinion), equivalent to some of the readers that I read with.
I am proud and happy that reading comes so naturally to both Hadley and Easton.
Hadley is now reading the Rainbow Magic Series chapter books at a rate of about a book a night. Approx. 69 pages. (They have a small drawn picture on every page and she is quite enjoying them.
