DD1 is in Yr 2 and is top of her year for reading. Teacher has said that she races through her books too quickly and she needs to slow down. Fair enough, but she can always tell you what she has read. She races through because they bore her - they are just too easy, and she is really reluctant to read them. She reads widely at home (Roald Dahl, Finn Family Moomintroll, the Diddakoi are some that she has read recently) and she is really bored with these trite little stories about lost cats that she brings home.
I wrote in her reading diary that we were both bored with these books and gave examples of what she read at home and got a really snotty note saying that the teacher was "glad she had the luxury of reading widely at home, but while she was at school DD1 would read the "appropriate level book for her." I realise that I am probably the teacher's worst nightmare, but this teacher is v v keen on group reading and I feel DD1 is being kept back so that she can group read with some others. She's on ORT levels 13-14.
