DH informed me today that the teacher thinks we aren't simulating DS1's reading enough at home. Not from lack of reading but the level/band of reading.
DS1 only started Y1 on Wednesday so I'm surprised the teacher mentioned something already. He is also my first DC at school so I am absolutely clueless by what she means. She sent DS home with a few purple band books (one was called the ungrateful tiger) and 1 gold one.
Is this good/bad? I know he can read some of my fantasy books - well parts of it. She I'm slightly concerned that the teacher said something.
What do the bands mean in terms of levels. I think the school goes on the ORT systems but I'm clueless on that too and google confuses me. Can anyone educate me a littkd on what levels/bands mean in terms of my child's reading?
Any help would be great!
