Son is reading about 6 levels above the books he brings home! I know I can carry on supplementing at home which I will do. But I do have some level of frustration. I mentioned his reading ability to his reception teacher, was given the standard response of reading is more than reading the words. So left it until Year 1. Mentioned it to Year 1 teacher - who said its about comprehension so I then spent more time on exploring whether my son understood what he was reading. At parents evening - the teacher themselves said that he can read, comprehend, predict aspects of story. I once again mentioned that he books he was bringing home were too easy - though not as bluntly as there, I asked whether there was anything I was missing/that I needed to help him with. Teacher said they would look at his reading. And guess what? He is still bringing home the same level reading book - which he has been reading for about 9 months. Is it me? Or am I reasonable to feel very frustrated. I will just carry on taking him to the library so he can read other books. But I know other children are reading higher levels so I just don't get it. I feel they have pigeon holed him and that's where he will stay. My concern is that this extends beyond reading - as in the teacher's perception of him. He is very lively!!!
