I have never raised anything, ever at school about reading books and levels and my son is in Yr2.
However, he changed schools in Yr 1 and found himself on a quite slow paced reading scheme - ORT and all the phonics and facts spin offs that go with it.
That was fine. I know reading is more than about words, it's about comprehension and reading different types of reading materials etc.
His reading age is great and he is now on a level which most of the other boys in his group are on but I can't remember the last time he read a book from school with a word he didn't know. I feel they're a bit easy for him.
I put a note in the reading record book last week to the effect that the books aren't taking a wrinkle out of him and suggested something more challenging, but he just got the next one in the series home.
Is it worth raising again? Does it matter? We have parents' eve in a week and I was going to ask then but I'd be grateful for your views.
