So, as reported on
Blog from the Windowsill, some kids are not allowed to check out books from the school library that are above or below their "level". UGH! I am trying to get the actual blog link because I really don't want to believe this craziness! The stories about the leveling disaster don't stop. Choice is so important to our newest readers. I agree completely with the title of the post about this: "as if I didn't feel enough like smashing my head into a wall". My feelings exactly. I will let you know if I get the link to the blog that reported this newest leveling disaster.
Any luck finding that link? What a ridiculous idea! So much for rereading an old favorite for fluency, or challenging oneself with a book that is a touch harder than those "on level." Wow.
