If your child's school uses RWI, can I ask you a question...

If your children's school use Read Write Inc can I ask if they had to read every book in each colour level in order or did they skip books to move up levels?

We're slowly losing the will to live progressing through the levels and I'm worried if we have to read every book in each colour stage, I believe there is 10 for each stage then my child will just stop trying.

I appreciate a general message of it's important to read every night, but it doesn't sound like the OP is leaving the reading record empty. It would have been really easy for the teacher to explain to the OP's child that it's ok to read other books, instead of reinforcing the message that they must read the same book every night of the week.

Thank you. It was very much appreciated. ☺️

This sums up my feeling on her response. Yes he reads every night. She knows this, we've written diligently in the reading log every night. Whilst I'm sure there's some in his class who don't, surely it wouldn't have hurt her to say he didn't have to read that book every night. I'm not asking her to tell him he doesn't have to read at all but just not that particular book every single night.

Small update he's now come home with no book... I think I may have inadvertently become that parent....

Might be just because it's half term and they've done screening this week.

Yeah, but maybe teach misconstrued the situation. I dunno. They're all exhausted this time of year, I'd gove them a pass this time tbh.

How excellent, now he can read what he likes without worrying!

You don't sound like you've become that parent to me. You're interested and involved and asking genuine questions about your son's learning - if only all parents were the same!!!
