DS2 yr 2 is only on book 4 of the oxford reading tree as I have checked he should be on level 8-9 for his age group. He is bright and does very well in all subjects apart from reading.
When I mention oxford heading - Biff, chip etc and many of my teacher friends fall about laughing that the school is using these books which are 20 odd years old (date stamped too) and no wonder the school has a reputation as being 'alright' - surprising poor church school.
No one addressed problems at reception and year 1 teacher was praising him but now yr 2 the teacher is more brutally honest. He is having extra lessons in morning and has had some private tutoring but I am still concerned by the poor reading system of the school taking into account that DS2 will start in September.
Just wondering your opinions on this subject. I have many issues to take up with the head and was going to mention this as well.
