Perhaps it looks like "tracking," but the fact that every child moves to his/her reading at the same time has been less "tracking" than pulling children for Special Education or other interventions, with their attached stigmas. We;ve never talked about which is "the high group", and because the Title 1 and SpEd pull reading groups at the same time, it minimizes those students' missing other instruction. It's worked for us.
