A bit of a classic reading question here. Sorry.
Ds is on a particular book band at school but can read far harder books and finds the school ones very, very easy (although he largely enjoys them). The teacher has said she won't move him along until his comprehension improves further (although she says it has improved).
ime he does sometimes struggle if a story is very complex or has themes outside his experience. But equally he does understand what he's reading and we now make sure we ask him lots of questions. They didn't do guided reading in class for most of the year so that can't have helped.
What is the solution here though - he has only moved on one book band in the last year which isn't a lot. I feel he isn't progressing. What can I do?
