DD2 is in Year 5. She's finding guided reading very boring at the moment. Apparently they are reading Wuthering Heights - have been for weeks - and won't move on until they've got to the end.
Even allowing for the fact they are probably reading an abridged version, why on earth are 9 year olds reading something like this when there is so much fantastic, engaging and challenging literature that's actually written for their age group?
Is this a Gove thing? Or are her teachers just having a bit of a weird moment?!

Why on earth is my nine year old studying Wuthering Heights?
