My DS has just started in year 1. He is not overly confident and we both had to work really hard in reception to get him interested in phonics and reading. The hardwork has paid off and he now really enjoys it, especially because he can now 'help' me read the football reports in the newspaper.
He is currently half way through stage 3 books (Biff and Chip ones), but we have done load of reading over the holidays and he is wizzing through the books with no problems at all. I get the impression that his school likes them to read all of the books in one stage before they move them up, but I am worried that he is going to get bored with reading again, as he is finding stage 3 very easy.
Is there a big difference between stage 3 and 4 books and ould I look like a pushy parent if I asked his teacher to send some stage 4 books home for him to try?
