Someone last night was questioning me as to N's reading capabilities.  How do you know he's reading at this level?  Is he being tested, blah, blah, blah.  For guided reading as, they call it in the system, we read a set of readers from Pathway Readers, and he is reading at a certain level.  Before we left the system a year ago, there was mention of sight words students need to know for certain grade levels.  So since I was questioned about it, and probably questioning myself, I went and found this website and had N read the words to me, http://www.ccsd.edu/littletor/classes/second_grade/sight_words.htm and he  did excellent.  And then of course I was questioned about his social life.  Ignorance of the general public.
