Just wondering - my reception aged dd has always been a good reader and is currently reading purple book band ( which I know is good - this is not a stealth boast!) Her teacher expressed some concerns about her comrehension and put her on green band reading books for guided reading. She then was given a gold (one level above purple and ORT 9) book for guided reading and her teacher wrote in her book that she had spent lots of time shrugging her shoulders when asked questions about the book.
I felt this comment was a bit harsh and wondered why she had been put up four bands if her comprehension is such a problem. The book she brought home was all about concepts such as force and gravity - which surely any 5 year old would struggle with. Incidentally, she seems to have good comprehension at home, but says that the classroom is too noisy.
Obviously I will mention to her teacher - but am I worrying about nothing?
