My DD is in Reception this year. They are given a "word box" which is basically just a list of words to practice reading at home. My daughter always learns them quickly, within a week at least. Even so she gets sent home new ones fairly infrequently. She's on the 5th list after the conclusion of the term. I just figured they go slowly, but then another parent just mentioned that her son is on word box 10. I'm confused and feel like they're not progressing her through fast enough, but I guess maybe they know what they're doing? I don't want to sound like an idiot but have considered asking her teachers about it. What do you think?
