My ds is in Year 2 and he is reading long chapter books at home and non fiction. When we have done the school reading book in the past we do the questions at the end and ds seems to have good understanding of the book.
My ds has been on the same reading level for 6 months now and we are at the point where he is now having to reread the same books from school because he’s read everything on that band. I mentioned this to his teacher and she said she won’t move him up yet because a teaching assistant (who doesn’t work in their class) listened to him read and said his comprehension wasn’t good. I was quite shocked because this is not my experience of his reading at all.
Also, my ds said to me he didn’t know why the teacher was lying, he had never read to the TA. I have put it down to him not being able to remember reading to the TA. The TA works in Year 4.
I don’t know what more I can say to the teacher about this? We’ve had a lot of problems with her and there seems to be a lot of favouritism in the class. AIBU to feel annoyed about this?
