ds1 is in Y1. They're supposed to get their books changed twice a week - but ds1 hasn't had his changed on 5 out of the last 6 book change days.
And as the school is insisting that they read every book at each ORT level, including all the extension stories, AND the snapdragons AND the old sparrows branch stories that's an awful lot of books. 36 to be exact for level 4 alone. Which at current rates of book changing means they won't get anywhere near completing even one whole level in a year.
This is on top of them deciding to put all the kids back a level from where they were at the end of last summer term (which were already easier than the ones he could read before he started reception) on the assumption that their reading would have gone downhill over the summer. Which it didn't - we read with him every day. So it looks like they're expecting overall reading progress this year to be negative.
Am not happy - but don't know if this is normal or whether I should be kicking up a fuss about it.
