My DC has just turned 5. Very bright child and one of the eldest in reception. Not just academically bright but socially very out there has made some lovely friends. The school has asked me to stop reading the Oxford reading tree at home and only read the ones they send back with DC. So for example we were hitting level 2 over the summer and they've got DC on 1+ It takes literally 30 seconds to read. I try to make it longer by discussing pictures. Even reading words not in order so I know DC actually knows the words. DC knows all the words in the word pack. Should I ask for the teacher to push DC further? I'm concious DC has only just started reception. Numeracy levels are excellent too and practicising cursive writing. I just feel DC isn't hitting potential and I'm worried that moving forward school just won't be a challenge. So ideas of what I can do at home? What can I ask the school to do if anything or leave them to it?
