So ds started YR last January and basically taught himself to read in a week or so. Once I realised I then spent a lot of time trying to tell this to his teachers. He ended YR on Orange level, by which point I'd given up with his teachers. He spent the summer reading Horrid Henry, Dirty Bertie and train books written for adults. He even gave The Railway Children a go but that was too hard for him. Assessed at school this week, still at orange and sent home with a book he had zero problems reading. Arrgghh. How do I tell the teacher?
And yes, I do realise this is a nice problem to have and I can give him plenty of material at home to read but I want him to feel challenged by school too. Is that wrong?
