Hi, my DS (was 4 in the Spring) has just started Reception. He had his first reading book home on Friday. It wasn't an "easy" book and was clearly for us to read to him. The suggestions on a note form the teacher in the front included "as you read to your child, encourage them to follow the words with their finger, and talk about the pictures before you read the text".
This is fine, but with it he has a reading record and a box by where the teacher has written the book title, presumably for us to write something. DS can actually read simple words already, decoding CVC words and some longer ones if they make phonetic sense. Also he recognises by sight a lot of the high frequency words. I am just wondering if the teacher is likely to know this, and what I should write in his reading book? DS is quite shy and not likely to volunteer what he knows. Should I put a note in saying that he can read simple words himself? We did the school activity with this particular book (so I read it to him as instructed) but we have lots of other simple books he can read to me either wholly or mostly independently.
Thanks :)
