Looking for some help in what to say to DD's teacher about her reading.
Due a parents evening soon and find her teacher quite intimidating and she has a habit of talking down to you.
DD1 is 4.5 and in reception. She was reading before she started school and seems to pick things up really quickly.
They bring books home from the book trolley that they choose themselves. DD picks the harder books (Stage 6 books which are aimed at 6yr olds) and reads them with ease.
I write this in her reading record which gets comments back of 'well done'.
In class they do group reading which gets recorded in her book too but its always books like fat cat which are far too easy for her. Think shes read alone with the teacher/TA twice.
Ive mentioned DD's reading with the teacher before and just been met with comments of 'its not a race'. Im not trying to race ahead with DD but surely if she is capable of reading much harder books then she should working at that level at school too, not just plodding along with the others because its easier for the teacher.
Anyway, Want to bring it up again but dont want to be fobbed off with the Race thing again. Im pretty shy and find it hard to get my point across the best of times without the teacher being very standoffish. (im not the only parent to feel like this about her)
Anyone help me get my views across without sounding like a pushy mother. Im pretty sure she already has me marked as one!
