Bit of a back story Dc2 is just 8 and at the end of Y2 was working towards the expected level for reading. He has had glue ear since birth and grommets/repeated ear infections which i suspect has hampered his understanding of phonics. Hopefully at 8 he is growing out of these problems.
At the end of Y2 he was reading turquoise level quite competenly. He loves books and we regularly go to the library. Y3 starts and we are now on lexile books, he has a max score of 230 (retested at half term and stayed the same) and the books available to him are times such as Wibbly Pig, Nick Sharrat picture books, Knuffle Bunny (all books we were reading preschool). I understand the emphasis is now on comprehension but he is uninspired to say the least. Needless to say he can read them easily.
My concern is that though these books might be at his score level they are not age appropraite. DC2 says he wants to read books like Flat Stanley, Horrid Henry etc. Im worried hes getting demotivated and his self esteem is being knocked.
Ive mentioned this to school before but have been fobbed off - whats everyones view and how should I raise this with school.
