DS (5) is in Class 2 (Year 1). He flew through Reception and loves school. His Reception teacher was amazing, I really can't fault her at all.
However, since moving into Y1, the books he is being sent home with are as easy, if not easier than the end of Reception Class.
Every day he brought home a new book, every evening he read it with no trouble, and I made comments in his Reading Record stating this.
Yet he was not moved up to the next level until I wrote an note to the teacher suggesting this.
I was concerned that he is being overlooked and just has a teaching assistant read 4 pages a day with him. It's not on.
I want him racing through his level, and pushed instead of just plodding, as the teaching resources are too focused on those that can barely open a book.
Tomorrow is Parents Evening, how best should I suggest to the teacher that he needs a greater challenge?
I just want the best for my boy :)
AIBU?
AIBU?
To speak to the teachers at Parents Evening tomorrow re challenging DS (5)
