Look at the Big Brain on Allie!

Allie's teacher gave me a paper this morning showing that Allie is reading independently at a 2nd grade level. Imagine my surprise! We always knew she was reading well above grade level, but 2nd grade? The paper reads: "Her reading skills are therefore comparable to those of an average second grader after the sixth-month of the school year. She has mastered most of the basic sounds related to word recognition. Allison is blending sounds and word parts to read words more quickly and smoothly. Students at this level begin to spend more time reading silently and can read unfamiliar easy-reading materials." The teacher will now be sending books home for Allie to read and comprehend so she can take a quiz on them.
