DC is 4.5 and in Reception at an independent school
This is my first child so I don't know anything about learning to read etc really.
They have a mix of reading books and some of them have sentences like "This is an orange" and my DC can't sound out orange. The teacher said that they have some books which are wholly "decodable" but they don't have loads of them and so he'll get one of those only twice a week.
Is this ideal? My gut reaction was that i'd like him to have a decodable book all the time and I'm paying £10k a year so can they not buy enough of the "good" books?
But maybe IABU and the other books are just as good. It was the way the teacher made it sound like the decodable books were desirable but limited that made me think...
Any teachers or more experienced parents on here? At home he enjoys reading Songbirds (level 2) and they have gone down well with him so far.
