This is the response I got to asking for decodable books from school for 4 year old in reception who is guessing from pictures when presented with Biff and Chip.
I don't agree. I can ignore the books sent home and give him others, I know, but he is clearly being taught to 'guess' in school.
The school are unlikely to change their mind, I realise, but older DC (in the same school) is struggling very greatly with literacy and the general approach seems unhelpful.
