I'm genuinely not sure whether to raise this with DSs teacher

Apologies for missing apostrophe in the title, my iPad wouldn't let me select it.

DS is 5, in reception. No member of staff has listened to him read in class since December. Parent helpers have listened to him a couple of times but not for af least 8 weeks. We read with him every day and I would say he is on roughly the right level (I'm not trained with this, it's just my guess.

Also they get a home learning thing journal home every holiday, with a bit of homework to do. I don't think they need home work per se, but nevertheless they are set it and he does do it. It's never been commented on or marked in any way. So we just get the journal back each holiday and it's as if no one is looking at it.

I feel a bit uneasy about both things but I genuinely don't know what is a reasonable expectation for reception. Should I raise these issues or are they not important?

I actually remember my year 1 teacher listening to us read on a 1:1 basis. She would do it during other sessions - so while we did a drawing activity or something, we'd each take a turn to read a few pages to her.

There is always time to do it - it doesn't have to take long.

If they last heard him read in December I don't think that's good.
