My DD started reception this year as a non-reader, on ORT red reading level as she knew all of her letters from nursery. She has now worked her way to orange level but the teacher doesn't want to move her any higher, although she can read the books easily, and instead thinks that it's better to pick non-reading scheme books from the school library.
I have no complaints about this and think that these books are much more interesting for her, and the teacher seems great - it's her rather than DH or me that has been pushing DD (although we do of course encourage DD). However, I just wondered if this approach was usual?
