I was in the first grade and it was above my reading level. What the librarian didn't know was that I had already started reading the book and wanted to take it home to finish it. I was and still am an avid reader. I was too shy to tell her that I could read it. To this day I still remember how it made me feel. :-(MzCoCoReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778727402975659633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201065988920381502.post-66819620276190422102013-11-20T13:01:16.619-05:002013-11-20T13:01:16.619-05:00I'm not intentionally trying to be a smartie p...I'm not intentionally trying to be a smartie pants, but your top bubble has a grammatical error.

I had one student who started the year well past J, with comprehension, but I was not allowed to test her beyond that and give her harder material, because that wasn't a first grade level! I feel satisfied that I did not listen to the rules and let her excel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201065988920381502.post-73748287904871123642013-02-23T17:37:30.125-05:002013-02-23T17:37:30.125-05:00The first grade teachers at my school are upset wi...The first grade teachers at my school are upset with me for allowing students to choose books from the library that are not on their reading level. And when I find out what level some of the students are on (for instructional purposes, as Debra points out), my heart sinks because no self-respecting first grader would pick books at that level. Now, while I certainly want my students to become strong readers, and I appreciate how using leveled books can assist in reading instruction, there is no way I'm going to force students to pick books that they're not instrested in, and which make them feel "like babies". What are we doing to our students? So I guess I just have to have teachers mad at me....Anne Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142741135472635433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201065988920381502.post-37521325403720026212013-02-23T12:38:58.741-05:002013-02-23T12:38:58.741-05:00Amen!

And I have heard of principals asking teachers and librarians to make a list of leveled books, so parents can choose books for their children. Yikes! I think teachers and some administrators have lost sight of the purpose of book levels and benchmarking students-it is a teaching tool and 1 small assessment piece. Readers are more than a level or number. I prefer to teach my young readers how to select books that they can read, understand and enjoy. Independent reading of books that children select themselves is key to reading success and should be the center of reading instruction. As I begin planning for my non-fiction study and thinking about my classroom library your post was very helpful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065788011011301246noreply@blogger.com
