Ok bit of background.
In dd school they work in groups for reading. This group all bring the same book home to read 3x per week. The books dd brings home are far too easy and this has been going on since dd was in year 1 and she is now in year 2. What i mean by this is there is never a word that dd does not know and she has gone past the stage of having to sound letters out.
This group are the highest readers in the class and are still on stage 6 ORT. Now im sure there are more able children in dds group and less able. So why do they all have to go at the same pace? She is now on about the 20th book on level 6. This has happened on every level in the last 2 years.
Now how do I start a conversation with the teacher that i feel if she has to bring homework home that the work should be meaningfull and have sufficient challenge. I do not want the teacher to feel like im telling her how to do her job (im a teacher) but I have not said anything for nearly 2 years and this is getting beyond a joke.
