Should my reception twins be on higher reading levels?

My 5 year old twins are nearing the end of reception & every time I read reception reading threads on here, it makes me worry! One is on green ORT & one is on blue. We read loads of books etc in the house & I realise i could push it more, but to be honest, feel they are knackered most evenings and want to relax at weekends. They get two books a week & we read them a few times during the week. They are always confident by end of week if not on first or second read through. But by end of year, they are clearly not going to be on higher levels. It's a pushy middle class school, so I am presuming most of the other kids will be on higher levels. (One mum said in passing her child had been given a poetry book last week) On MN all the children seem to be on much higher levels by end of reception. I guess what I am asking is should I be pushing them more and going in to request more books, as I know they are capable- they are bright and engaged with a love of books? Or shall I just leave it to work itself out & not pressure them in their last few weeks of school? We'll do lots of reading over the holidays I am sure. Are they reassessed in September? Maybe they could catch up then?

If next year's teacher welcomes comments in the reading diary about non school books then my daughter should be fine. I suspect that's all that's needed.
