Are they variations in terms of difficulty among books with same colour band, but different reading scheme?

[zlaya]

DD yr1 has been recently moved to a next level ORT in her reading and has been reading fine until last week when the teacher introduced DD to different reading scheme called GINN, same colour band.
DD is finding these books little harder compering to her usual ORT, font is different also layout of the page is slightly jumbled, they are also very repetitive dare I say boring.
Is this normal and to be expected when children are moved to different reading schemes and authors?
How long before they get used to it?
Tonight DD struggled with it, every page started with same paragraph and DD was well bored with it after fourteen pages, TIA

there

Does the repetition not help with the slightly more difficult text?

TBH yes DD's school have about 5 different schemes & even within schemes the difficulty can vary quite alot.

Sometimes they get books they don't like - I would note down that she didn't enjoy the book in her reading diary & hope that she enjoys the next one

Yes, schemes vary a bit, some have fewer different words but more tricky words IYSWIM some use different fonts or picture styles, or rhyme, or play script format. As Loony says- we note in DSs reading record book if he has had a particular problem with vocabulary , been bored of, or simply doesn't like a book.

I like school using a mix, gets DS used to more than one style .
