How often should reception teacher listen to children read?

My daughter is in reception and her class teacher hasn't listened to her read in over 3 weeks. She is heard by a teacher assistant around once a week. For context, this is a small rural school and there are only 9 children in reception. Am I being unreasonable to think this is quite poor? My main issue is her books only get changed once a week and she is able to read level one books without any help and it is boring to read the same book each day for a week. I have already asked them to change the books more frequently which improved for a short while, but has slipped back to once a week. Is this usual?

I work in a school as ta.... DC are listened to at least once a week by an adult....sometimes a ta sometimes the teacher depending on if she has other work to do. Seriously some days she doesn't stop with lessons and getting resources ready or observing children or doing interventions to help children struggling...if we get through everyone we will try listen to them again

The important thing is the children are listened to, ta's are allowed to switch levels should they feel it's needed.

Books are changed once a week.
