right, I'll get the smugness out of the way straight off. DS has just started reception and can read almost anything. I'm not talking Herman Hesse, but he can read books which I know are way above his age.
After his first week at reception he came home with a level 1 book which was way too simple, so I commented that it was too simple in his reading diary, and the next week he got level 2, still too simple etc. etc. til last week it was level4.
I made the comment agin that it's too simple and could we have a higher level ( he read the book in the 4 minute journey home and knew every single word, he puts on different voices when there's speech marks )
Today the reading diary came back with a note from his teacher saying that after talking to the literacy coordinator they are keeping him at level 4 so he can enjoy the books.
I think the implication is I'm being too pushy, but he gets his own books at home and reads every night in bed.Is there a legitimate reason why they don't want to give him books where he might need to learn a word or two?

to expect reading books to reflect ability?
