At the end of Year 1 apparently dd's reading age was 5.3 and her actual age was 5.11; so something of a gap.
I've had bugger all feedback regarding how she is doing during Year 2, but I suspect she is behind her peers.
From what I can ascertain other classmates are reading books at much higher stages than stage 5.
I do intend to meet with her teacher to ask for feedback
...and I am going to administer the Burt Reading test over the weekend
But she should be achieving higher than stage 5 books at this point shouldn't she? ..and what input should there be from school to bring her up to speed?
(Btw - recently she had a stage 5 book for 12 days without it being changed, and it seems during that period only one person heard her read - a volunteer parent. I had to prompt the teacher to get it changed...is that reasonable?)
