Hello,
My son is in year 3, he is 7 years old. He gets homework where he has to read a specific book at home at least 3 days a week. We fill in another book to say he has read, this earns him golden time at school. School do not however do any reading with him, if they read at school it is on their own (in their heads) so no one hears them read... I think this is wrong... do you?
They tick the book we write in, but there are no comments on what we can do better... just the title on his new book.
How am I supposed to teach him to read??? I don't know how to, I don't know how many of the words he is supposed to know, and how to teach him to read the ones he don't know... any ideas???
Am I'm being a bit oversensitive here... aren't schools supposed to teach our kids to read???
