Parents evening looms..
I have a few questions I want to ask that relate to my DC in Y2.
Is it reasonable to ask which level they are at when still so early on in the school year? Don't want to sound too pushy but got the levels on the summer term and keen to see if the progress I think may have been made has been realised. Thinking particularly in numeracy.
I also think that the book level is too easy and that my child is ready for more challenge. Reads with 100% accuracy and copes with much more challenging texts at home in terms of comprehension (can demonstrate understanding at a much more complex level than that afforded by current books coming home.) My child moved slowly last year but has now jumped on a lot I feel. It seems that the children are all assessed at set times and then all jump forward one book band regardless. I feel he is a more capable reader than his book band currently reflects. This is no problem but it seems that the children's levels are in part reflected by the level they read at? If that makes any sense! :)
I really respect our Y2 teacher and ultimately respect her judgement so unsure whether it is appropriate to raise these small things?
