DD is in P1 (Scotland and towards younger end of year) and they use Read Write Inc. She picked up the speed sounds very well however oral blending seems to be trickier. We’ve focused on red words and memorising words. She’ll try blending but gets frustrated and “guesses” the words. I know she knows the individual sounds as if I cover parts of the words she’ll say the letters but then won’t sound out the full word even though she can say all component parts. Her teacher at parents evening said she was progressing well though needed to work on blending. However I’ve just read she suppose to be about 3 colours ahead of the Red ditty books she’s on. Is she massively behind?! The page I saw also said to not tell the parents!!! It wasn’t from our school but from a RWI fb group. Why would they say not to tell the parents? Surely if the parent was aware they could offer more home support?
What other books can I get her? I’ve seen Song Bird Phonics, Biff Chip series, and other sets for sale but unsure how they’d fit in with her learning via RWI.
What would anyone recommend and is she really that behind?
