My son has just entered year 1 and after reading with his teacher has been put on pink reading books.
At the end of reception he was on red and " exceeding " on his report for reading.
He was still blending aloud in those books the majority of the time however this teacher has said until he can read simple books without the need to sound out he shouldn't be on any higher - is this correct?
And how do I encourage him to sound out silently as he keeps saying that's too hard and often forgets the first letter / sound when he does it in his head even if it's only a 3/4 letter word but when doing it aloud can blend a 7 letter word easily. Help!
