My DD is in Year1. She’s generally happy in school. She is very good at reading- picked up phonics very well and finished reception reading pretty fluently. She now reads several short chapters books a week independently (think Naughtiest little sister/Isadora Moon types). She loves them and can tell us all about the stories.
She’s still being sent home with Biff and Chip style books which she rattles through and pronounces “boring”. I’ve mentioned on occasion that she says it’s too easy but this generally gets a note back saying she’s very able but they’d keep observing. Since she’s reading a very varied selection at home this isn’t something I’ve been worried about particularly but DD is starting to get upset about still being on the same level (turquoise). We have done work testing her comprehension of the stories and she understands them, reads with expression etc.
How would you broach this topic with the teacher at the upcoming parents evening? I was quite bored in primary school and never felt stretched- I don’t want the same happening to her.
