to think that new reading scheme is holding dc back?

[Snowfire]

DD (yr6) has been on free reads since early year 4. Sometimes the books she has chosen have been a bit naff but she has read and enjoyed lots of different books such as; Roald Dahl, Michael Morpurgo, Harry Potter etc and really enjoys reading. Sometime last year I was told she had a reading age of 13 so I thought this would mean she can read pretty much anything with age appropriate content.
Last week she came out of school moaning that she had been put back on the reading scheme and had been given (no choice) a book to read. Looking at it at home, it's OUP tree tops level 14 which is apparently aimed at year 5. It seems very similar to the ones she had a few years ago with large print, short chapters and lots of pictures. I had a bit of a read myself and thought it was pretty simple in terms of storyline and language compared to what she has been reading for the past 2 years and she feels that she is being put back. I've spoken to a few other mums and I think it's the whole class who have been put back, not just DD.
Has this happened to anyone else?

oxford reading tree put my ds off books for like. Biff and chip and all that shite, just boring, unengaging and just bloody awful

What do you mean Feminine "able to script"?

Just join the library. It really doesn't matter-read whatever the school give her, quickly, and then carry on with her own. I don't see how it can hold her back-she can read several books a week from the library.

Thanks, Feminine :)

I think you have to careful with reading schemes because they can make a child dislike reading if all they have is boring books. It also makes no sense to put the whole class on the same book. I once taught a reception class of 4-5yr olds and one girl in the class was reading chapter books already! She was consistently put on yr 3-4 work beacuse otherwise she would have died of boredom. OTOH there were children in her class who could not recognise letters. What book should they have read?
