ds has started school this September.I guess hes your typical 4 year old,not a genius but not totally dimwitted.He can read some simple words and knows the alphabet.We read to him every night.Last week he brought his first "Reading" book home,basically a pictoral book of about 6 pages called "The Apple".It says it is part of a series calle Oxford Reading Tree.Alongside this a small reading "diary" appeared with a section marked "Parents comments".I looked at the book with ds and got him to tell me the story.Dutifully commented on said book.We did this every night,as well as a Proper story (Currently reading him Fantastic Mr Fox.)Last Friday I asked the ta if he needed a new book,she said "Oh,sorry forgot to look in his book bag" and found me another book in similar vein about a street fair.
How long does the pictoral stuff go on for?When do they start progressing to words,and should I be doing anything else to help ds with his reading.?Is this the usual stuff that is done in Reception I am clueless!Thanks
