I figure they are learning more that way than telling me they read each night,
when I know many of them don't!
You're so right, they DO say they read at home.
But sometimes I really put them on the spot and they're too young to lie
straight to my face. I ask them when we are doing DRA testing. I say, "You
aren't reading at home, are you?" They shyly shake their head no. I have to say
to them, "I know, I can tell."
It's really very unfortunate.
Another thought. As far as I'm concerned, the district doesn't pay me to read
from a basal or TE. They pay me to do what it takes to get each child to make
at least 1 years growth. I'm lucky to have a very supportive principal.
