Any first-grade teachers out there? - 04/25/04 10:57 AM
...or mothers, or anyone else familiar with Early Readers. 
My current translation project is a four-volume set of children's books on the Jewish holidays of the year. They initially gave me two months to do the first volume, but they took a month just to get back to me about the reading level they want... :rolleyes:
At any rate, I've been translating the stories and information on what I think is a first- or second-grade reading level. While my own girls are that age, their English reading skills are far weaker than their American counterparts, so I can't judge by their own abilities. So I could really use some help in determining if I'm actually on target.
If anyone out there teaches first/second grade, or is a mother that is familiar with that reading level, and wouldn't mind scanning a page or two to tell me if I've got the reading level right, and doesn't mind this annoyingly run-on sentence...
I'd really appreciate it. You can snag my e-mail from my profile page.
Thanks,
Hazel
