I've spoken to a few other mum's in my DD's year 1 class and discovered that some get as much as 3 reading sessions a week with the teacher, whereas my DD only gets one guided group session each week. Teachers may be able to explain better how this works and I may be totally barking up the wrong tree, so happy to be put right if I am. On the face of it, it feels like the children further along with reading, instead of having the same number of sessions (yet at a more advanced level) have less of the teacher's time in order to get the children not doing so well up to expected levels. Do I have the wrong end of the stick? Or are the bright kids not given as much time because they'll already look fine on the statistics? I really hope I'm wrong, because it doesn't feel fair.

Is it right that early readers do not get as much reading time?
