Hi
A quick question for you. DDs school do not do any 1:1 reading (unless a helpful parent volunteers, so DDs class get none.) They say all their reading is taught and assessed through guided reading. She is in Reception in a mixed R/1 class.
She is bringing home purple band books (ORT 8ish) and can read them with no problems, and can answer various questions about the story along the lines of what happened, who did, why did they do/say that, what do you think will happen, why is this writing big, how do you think they feel, what word could we us instead of said etc then what level of book would be appropriate for them to be using in guided reading to enable them to progress in reading?
Just want to get some views, ideally from teachers before I go in a be "that parent!"...
(I am actually a teacher although have only been doing PPA cover since DD was born. I know what type of books I would have used for my classes when I had one but know things change......also I have never had reception so it may be different for younger children?)
Thanks.
(I do actually volunteer in the school before anyone comments on that but parents are not allowed to be with their child's class...)
