Hi, just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience - my dd is a good reader for her age (7) and enjoys reading books pitched at a level slightly higher (7-9 year old). She managed to complete our local library reading challenge this summer and read 6 books, with a good understanding of all books and was able to recount the story in great detail. Today she has been sent home with one of those damned Sophie the Sapphire Fairy books as her class reading book. AAHHH - she could read and enjoy those in year 1, now she is in year 3. Am I being a pushy parent to get annoyed with this? Should I take it up with the school? I really don't want her to get bored with reading, and feel unchallenged. She is upset that her friends have been given books that she wants to read and feels as if she isn't as worthy of better books. Stuck as to how to handle these teachers with little aspiration and challenge for pupils!
