Moving on to 'Free Readers'?

[educator123]

My Dd was talking about this today, she said, ' after I have read this book Mummy, i will be able to move on to free readers' does anyone know anymore about what this means?

As her reading has always worried me slightly. She is a young yr2.

TIA

generally means having more choice about what she reads, and not having a set book from the reading scheme that the school uses.
Most do guided reading daily and other tracked reading systems, and "free readers" are often to get the children to read something of their own choice and comment on it, form opinions, review characters and settings - in short getting more experience as readers. Others will turn up and explain it far more articulately I'm sure

They get to choose whichever book they like from the library. In our case, usually about a poor puppy who's lost it's master.

Generally it means they've come out the other side of the reading scheme. The still read to the teacher, but get more freedom in the books they choose.

If she's in year 2, she's probably doing quite well with her reading. That's if she's correct in her thinking. I don't think it was a case of finishing the books as such, mine was moved onto it after an assessment.

Ok thanks, i don't know much about the reading bands/colours/levels etc. So i don't know what is the 'norm' for her age.

When i first dicovered this area of Mumsnet i had a little look into it but figured it all varies depending on the scheme!?

She does seem to have come on recently, as it was a bit of a struggle for her to start with.
