My daughter is in a great primary school in inner city London. Really mix of children and high amounts of FSM and ESOL. I have a huge amount of respect for the staff and quality of teaching. She is in reception and is old for the year as well as being quite bright. She has done very well in her reading and has is on green ( though frankly she needs to be moved up). The school started moving her up twice a week to year 1 but this has stopped in preparation for daily 'guided reading' groups which was introduced with much fan fare in a letter to parents and kids all excited. She came home this week upset that everyone is going to groups but not her.The problem is she's the only one on green so she there is no-one to 'group' with. The TA said they have to keep it ' in class' so she couldn't go to year 1 so they are doing reading with her on 121 on a regular basis. She told me today that she ran round the gym (supervised) while the others they did reading. I do not want to be 'one of those parents' and it is only reception but equally can't work out whether they should be really finding a way to support her. We do loads of reading at home so could up that .
