So my son is in year 1 this year and all throughout kindergarten and the 3 months in year 1 he has been on the yellow reading level. I have been told he was on level 7 and has progressed to level 9 but he is still bringing home the same books as last year with a yellow dot on the back of them. I am really worried he is falling behind. Everytime I ask his teacher she says he is doing well but I am seeing all the other children move up levels however he has remained on this level for a few months now.

I know they keep a reading running record and this is how they determine what levels but I have no idea what this means and how to help at home.

Any suggestions?

I have also noticed that my son has no one sitting next to him in class anymore. normally he is seated beside someone for help if he needs it. he is the only child without anyone sitting next to him. Should I be concerned?
