Hi everyone
My daughter is in year 2 and in a class where there are about 6 of them who are extremely good readers. The information received at the start of term stated that if they were on free reading by the end of the year, they were exceeding ARE. We have been informed that at present, although she is a free reader she is 'secure' ARE which presumably means there are aspects of her comprehension or other element that are not exceeding.
Am I right in saying there is a limit to how many children per class can be measured as exceeding? Is it 3 out of a class of 30? Or if necessary can it be down to teachers judgement? I'm just wondering as I'm wondering here abouts she is and that she may be lower down in the top group and if there is a limit then she won't be exceeding.
I don't need to be shot down in flames or criticised for taking note of such levels, I'd just like to know the answer!
Many thanks
