Background, DD is in year 2 and is a very able reader, in the top guided reading/comprehension group and will probably come out with a secure level 3, not boasting, just facts. Her school has a long-winded reading scheme which goes way beyond lime band (band 11), and I really do mean way beyond. She is currently bringing home some frankly ancient books which are a struggle to get her to read because she wants to read her own stuff instead; her school does not move them up to the next level when they have read all the books in a box BTW, they have to be re-assessed by the teacher, and the emphasis has always been on the fact that the books that they bring home are for fun () and it is the books that are read during guided reading that are important. I know she is a great reader, so should I let her just read her own books and put a note in the reading diary saying as much, given that they are not moved on based on wading through book after book from school?
