DS reads to us every night and three or four times a week to his teachers. He was on turquoise level forever and must have read at least 50 books on it, many of which were really boring. He almost never needs help reading a word and reads quite happily in his head. He has finally moved up to purple band (after we queried his level), but still never needs help with any of it and is now getting onto the 'dregs' of purple band i.e. the books on 'public art' and 'movie monsters' when he much prefers the stories. I feel like he should be progressing more quickly through the levels, particularly when his teachers agree that he has absolutely no problems with the level he is on. He gets bored and frustrated with the books he is given, but when he has a book he enjoys he will happily read all 32 pages in one sitting. Can anyone tell me what is normal in terms of progression? I don't really have any experience with this. I don't want to raise it with his teacher (again) if I'm being a complete jerk, but I don't want him to stagnate either!
