Y1 reading - I feel like I am constantly pestering the teacher

[Naicecuppatea]

My DD loves reading and is zooming through her school books which she gets every night. Since starting Y1 she has moved up a few reading bands, each time I have asked if she could as the books are very straightforward for her, she is reading them on the short journey home without any problems, and then going on to her much loved, much more difficult chapter book she is reading at home.

I need to ask her teacher again if she can move up another reading level as I feel the books she is sent home should challenge her in some way. Last week when I asked her teacher said she should read more books in the same level so that she can improve her comprehension and understanding. We've been doing this and asking questions about the story and her understanding is fine.

Am I okay to go back to the teacher do you think? And why isn't the teacher picking up when she needs to change level before I need to say something?

Thanks for reading - sorry for the long winded message!

My sons teacher explained to me the comprehension part and showed me how they move up a level which was really useful. My son is in Y1 and his comprehension is blue but his reading is orange. My son has ASD which is why he has trouble with prediction and questions which begin with 'why' The school tends to alternate between blue and orange for him but its interesting the difference between his reading ability and his comprehension.
