Can in any way negatively impact their learning?
Received letter from school today saying children were not allowed to take a book a level above what they have been assessed for home reading as as this is not supporting the teachers in school.
My child takes one book at his level and one at the level above. He enjoys the challenge and has learnt plenty of new words this way. Been doing it for the last couple of years.
I'm pretty annoyed at the tone of the letter which actually implied that letting children take these books goes against the things they are being taught such as courage, kindness and trust at school which I take great exception to.
AIBU to go into school tomorrow and complain about the tone of this letter as well as the lack of discussion regarding this issue?
Also AIBU to think there is no way reading a book above your level can in any way negatively impact learning? Be good to hear from any teachers I just can't for the life of me see why children having a challenge in addition to their standard work is negative in any way.
