Just after some opinions here...
Is reading at home a pointless waster of time? Are there any negative effects to the child who's parents don't bother?
My ex has our children for the school week every other week. He never reads with them. (one is in reception so just starting learning to read and the other can read but not well). Both bring home a book each day and parents listen to them read and sign their contact book. The teachers have started writing note in it like "please read" and "has x read this?" as well as "please practice xyz". They don't do this for me as I always do it anyway. He refuses to read with them after school or do homework. "That's what the teachers get paid for" The notes in the front of their contact books states the school would like children to read every evening. The meeting we attended at the start of term emphasised the importance of parents reading and doing homework.
Anyway. Ex won't listen to me, ever, and he will do the opposite of what I ask him to. So, I was thinking of asking the teacher to have a word with him and explain the importance of it. Do you think the teacher will do this or will they think it's a unimportant matter (in guessing they must it's think it has some importance to have written the notes to him in their contact books in the first place).
Opinions appreciated.. Thanks.
