my son is 4.5 and in reception at a private school. He has been on pink band books since the summer term of nursery. We didn't read a lot over the summer holidays.
phonics wise he knows up to cks, igh, ng, sh, th, that sort of thing.
how long did your children spend on pink? he read his book last might very well, reading words by sight and not sounding them out
over the Xmas hols he read 8 x ref ort booms and 4 x yellow from a set that I purchased a while ago from book people. so I know he can cope with books other than pink.
what are teachers waiting to see before moving them on. and actually, does it really matter.
