Better start over in kindergarten or at least buy hooked on phonics.

I think they give testing to children to evaluate learning difficulties.  So, if you or your child is not having success in school, you might see the e.p. for testing to find out more exactly what the problem is.  Could be Attention Deficit, Dyslexia, or some other specific disorder.  It's good to identify the nature of the problem, because then the e.p. can help identify a plan and some methods of working around the problem.

Can't teach effectively without assessing student skill levels to know what to teach next. Do you mean the routine assessing of student levels done by teachers, or the NCLB/state nonsense?

Well, it depends on the study. Reading a picture book to a small child is study, as is taking him/her to the park or out in the back yard to look at butterflies.\n  If you are hoping to turn him/her into a spelling bee champion, then it may be a bit soon to be pushing spelling books on the child. Of course, there are adorable learning toys for even that too, so you could be safe there as well,LOL!  \n  Remember, learning starts at birth! If we spend quality time reading and playing with our children, they will learn some spectacular every day. If we plop them in front of a t.v. all day and call it good enough, they may learn their letters and numbers, but will miss out on the excitement of learning by interaction.

School is a great playground for kindergarten-age children. I remember having a smart 4-year old in my class when school started in September, and he was shy but brilliant. At first it was a little rough for him socially because he was afraid to open up, but I'm sure that with some motherly encouragement he'll make it through.\n\nIt will benefit him if he gets an early start to his education! I graduated among the youngest in my class and it was nice to be younger while accomplishing the same things as your peers, because you have a sort of head start. \n\nI think it's best to go on your gut instinct on this one. Good luck!

I am a senior early childhood major.  From all my experience in the classroom working and observing, I have seen many teachers do a variety of ways as far as organizing their classroom libraries.  One classroom I was particularly impressed with was a first grade classroom of a skilled master teacher.  She had her books organized in containers by author, topic, subject, holiday, month, ect.  She had the containers labeled and the containers made it easy for the students to go-through.  This teacher also had a library stand with four shelves that she called "books of the month".  Monthly, the books in this library stand are changed to keep up with the current topics and holidays that are currently going on.  \n\nI found this to be a wonderful way to organized books.  I think your kindergarteners would find it easy to choose a book to their liking.  Good luck.

Well, I would say assessment.\nI am doing one about whether students are more aware of assessment levels for reading and writing than speaking and listening (they are).\n\nOther people I know are doing whether written or verbal feedback is more effective in raising pupils marks.\n\nIts always useful to do something about disaffected boys and which type assessment works for them, peer marking, verbal or written.\nTry doing something simple like is it better to write a grade on a students work or not, because most students just read the mark and not the corrections or comments.\n\nThere are lots of useful books about action research, I got one off Amazon -Action Research in Classrooms and Schools by David Hustler.\n\nGood luck\n\n\nP.S contact me if you need to discuss futher.

It's an assessment that is done on individual children to see how they're getting on in various directions, it sometimes uses everyday objects where the question is put to the child, the child answers and sometimes uses the objects, to help them with answers. The tests you might find under Baseline assessments on a google search.

Is your school not offering tutoring? I don't know that there is free tutoring out there unless you could apply for some kind of grant. There are lots of good phonics based computer programs. I like Reader Rabbit and Jump Start. You can even check them out from your local library. Encourage reading in your house as much as possible. I read to my kids every night. If the book is easy enough we take turns reading. Recently found a good incentive program that is free online. Kids read, take quizzes and earn points to get free stuff. Anything that will encourage reading will help. \nI hope the school has considered any learning disabilities. They should be able to test for and diagnose such things.

It's definitely a way to measure kids intelligence... if not the parents. Some jobs required early learning.

wouldn't that depend upon the # of words on that page, the point in which they're printed, and the comlexity of said words??\n\nhow about asking the number of words correct per minute that an average adult (or whatever) can read?\n\n1st grade = 30-50 wcpm\n2nd grade = 80-100 wcpm\n\net cetera.

i think you should send your little kid to kindergarten first.\nthat would prepare him for the big school, he needs some socializing and ideas about the real world. \nhe needs to learn the basics and some of the super basics..
