My daughter is in reception and is one of the oldest, she started full time last September. The school dont use one type of book they have lots of types that they put stickers on the front to show levels. My daughter started the year on level 1/2 and is still on that level which is surprising because she cannot even read these let alone anything more difficult. I have been reading with her at home, I have bought her books at thos level to help her, I have tried going back over the letter sounds. I have spoken to her teacher who said " yes shes come on really well since September and shei s moving well up the levels" um...no shes not. She also then went on to say that my daughter is good at using letter sounds to sound out words. She cannot do this AT ALL...if you say C..A...T she will tel you it says hat or whatever random thing pops into her head. She has no idea how to read a word. According to the reading record book she hasnt had anyone read with her in school since Jan 26th - I assumed they just were not updating it but now I am starting to think it is accurate. I feel like marching int here and demanding to know why she cant read and why the teacher doesnt know this.
I may tone it down a little but up until now I have tried to go along with the teacher would I be unreasonable to question if she actually knows anything about my daugher?

To ask the teacher if she has ever actually heard my daughter read?
