Full story not to drip feed.
Dd1 is in year 5 and just started a new school. She has autism on the high functioning end, is very bright and able but has other stuff going on linked with her autism.
She has always been a great reader and really found a love of books about two years ago. She loves famous five, magic kitten and magic garden type books.
She came home with a new book last week and told me her teacher told her she's not allowed to choose same author more than once.
This book is age appropriate but has a lot of idioms and certainly not a setting she has a clue about (set in a mental hospital).
We have tried reading it together but she ends up stressed and I'm worried she will fall out of love with reading if its not enjoyable for her.
Should I just email her teacher and tell him she will choose her own books?
Even as an adult there are certain authors and story lines I prefer over others, why shouldn't she.
He says he wants her exposed to other authors, but tbh I couldn't care less!!
Opinions??
