DD is fairly young in the year and struggled in reception with reading. I went in a couple of times to talk to the teacher but was always told "it's fine, just keep reading with her, talking to her about books etc" which I did. However she was still struggling at the end of reception and we found out she clearly wasn't doing fine as she ended up on bottom table at start of year 1.
Again spoke to teacher and got told it's fine, keep reading etc. Anyway now after first term of Year 1 she is still on red level and I am concerned that this is now really quite behind (especially from what mumsnetters children seem to be on!). I know she is still young but at this stage and if a child is on this level should I be worrying? Should the school be doing more? Due to xmas play/parties that last time her teacher heard her read was 20/11 so by the time she is back in jan will mean teacher hasn't heard her for nearly a month and a half which doesn't give me much faith that they are doing much to bring her along at school.
And I do read with her everyday, read to her, go to the library, do phonics workbooks etc but I have started to wonder if the school need to be doing more too? I believe she should be on blue level at the end of year 1 to be "on track" - and am worrying that she might not make this.
Would be interested in any opinions?
