My dd1 (5) has recently started Reception. She was at a school overseas, where she learned to read in pre-school. She is now a pretty good reader.
However. Listening to some of the other parents, it sounds like the other children in her class are still learning their letters. I have made her teacher aware of how well she is reading and they have sent a couple of books home with her (which were still too easy but at least they had words in them!), but I am worried that she will get forgotten about and bored.
Please let me know your experiences of what happened if your dc's were already reading when they started reception. I totally understand that they will all catch up eventually, that reading isn't everything etc . But I don't want her to be bored at school, this would be a really bad way for her to start.
Thanks.
