My child is in year one and has not read aloud to an adult in school since December.
When I asked his teacher about it I was informed that there are so many children who don't get read to at home, they have to prioritise them.
Whilst I understand this, I feel it is really unfair to children who are read to at home because they are not receiving the professional guidance they should be. I understand schools have increasingly limited resources and restraints and it's not the best of times education wise right now. But i also recognise that I am not a professional and don't really know how to help my son read better other than carry on doing what we are doing.
I absolutely love the school. It's brilliant but I really feel like they've dropped the ball here. I raised the fact he hadn't been heard reading since December in February. It's now almost May and nothing has been done.
Am I being unreasonable or should I have a chat with the head teacher? He's my eldest so I've not been in this position before. He's also an August born year one so he's only five.
