DS is in year 3, and since about this time last year, has been stuck around purple/gold level type books. He can read them well, but give him anything else with more text he finds it very hard, makes lots more mistakes, loses his place, forgets to use phonics etc.
His teacher doesn't seem bothered, says he is a good reader, but he still can't read Horrid Henry or things like that yet. She has offered no suggestions to help him over this bump. I have tried no reading/lots of reading/easy books/hard books/letting him choose/suggesting books/funny books/fact books. I just don't know what else to do.
I wouldn't worry so much, but it is a whole year that his reading skills really haven't developed at all, and he is not 'proper reading' yet imo.
Any ideas?
