My child is a Second Grader who was benchmark on DIBELS testing at the beginning of second grade. We have changed reading programs. We now have McGraw Hill, Wonders. My child is being tested weekly on passages that she is unfamiliar with, she doesn't have background knowledge on, and she has to choose many times between, "the best answer." Which for a seven year old translates into trick questions. The vocabulary in the test does not match the vocabulary we are given to study. In other words, she is also presented with words and ideas that she is unfamiliar with. How do I help her?
