Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

I have been reading all of these posts about reading levels at public schools. Can explain to me what all these public school reading levels are. What is G level, Z level? My DC is at private so I don't get it. For example, what would Charlotte's Web be on that level system?

I'm pretty sure this is not correct. It's probably more like level W. Have you actually read Charlotte's Web recently? It's not a simple book.
[ Reply | More ]^^^Oops, I stand corrected -- just checked and it is an R. I thought I recalled it being more difficult, but I was wrong.
[ Reply | More ]i think you also need to take into account the subject matter. the story revolves around preventing one of the main characters from being slaughtered with an ax. (the first illustration is actually of fern trying to wrest said ax from her father's hands.) i wouldn't read this to a k dc, but that's just me.

My dc's private doesn't use levels either. Google "lexile" and you can find sites where you can find what your dc is reading and other books at that level.
[ Reply | More ]scholastic has a great website for figuring this out: http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/tbw/homePage.do according to them, Charlotte's Web is R.
[ Reply | More ]Charlotte's Web is a beautifully written classic book. if you child is reading this, there's no need to ask about reading levels. Just keep supplying great books.
