Just looking for some advice on how much of a difference you would expect between the book coming home from school and the books your child is (independently, confidently) reading at home. Completely happy for there to be some difference - 4 year old reads in hideous monotone when reading to herself, (but better when reading to me!) and I know school are big on expression, understanding, retelling story in detail, inference etc.
I'm happy that she understands the books she is reading at home (giggles at appropriate places, gasps at surprise/suspense, stories often appear retold in pretend play), so not just decoding without understanding.
She finds books from school dull, so we dash through in less than 5 minutes (comments in reading diary are all "great reading") and move onto reading "Real" books together, so not a problem, but wondering if I should raise with her teacher, or trust the process and her expertise?!
(Blue book band school reading books, reads turquoise "read it yourself ladybird" books confidently alone, reads gold/white with some support at home - usually for words not in her vocabulary yet!)
