DS' school doesn't and mostly I am pleased about this. However I am a bit concerned about reading. I read to him at home but as he is no where near free reading (only stage 1 Biff, Chip, Kipper books) he can't read any of the books we have to me. I would like him to read most nights but because the school don't send books home he doesn't do any reading of his own at home. He is in year 2. He didn't have books sent home in reception, he had a book sent home once a week in year 1 and none since the start of year 2. I mentioned it to the teacher back in October and she said they don't send books home til they understand the comprehension of it but surely he should have had something by now. At first I didn't mind because it was a battle getting him to read those god awful boring books anyway but now I'm thinking perhaps I should start getting a bit concerned?

Does anyone else's primary school not do compulsory homework, even reading.
