I have a reading levels question. This much-touted thing that they should be able to read 90 or 95% of the words without help - is that decoding or understanding their meaning?
Ds breezes through his school reading books in terms of reading the words and has lovely expression but on his current level (which is quite ahead for his age) there are quite a few words he has to ask me the meaning of. He would probably get the gist of them but likes to know exactly what they mean.
So does this mean he's on the right level? The vocab doesn't challenge him at all when it comes to actually reading the word out loud.
