Reception school books?

I am concerned about my dd in her reception class, she started last September and has never had a reading book?! Is this normal for some children? I've approached her teacher about it twice as other children in her class have had multiple books each week and I get the response that her group arent doing that yet. I dont really know what else to do. She says shes in green group (I dont even know what that means) she has ones in her reading group that cant speak English and with learning difficulties yet my dd doesn't and she reads biff and chip level 4 at home with no problems (which I bought her so she is reading something). Has anybody not had a reading book in reception? I dont know weather to have a word with the headteacher.

Oh wow. So it sounds like someone really messed up!
I wouldn’t be too worried though if she genuinely has been reading most days. That’s a lot more than lots of schools read.

Thank goodness you were doing it at home too! My reception daughter is on a level too easy for her and find it really frustrating. They keep giving her ridiculously easy books for her. We have our own set at home too so keep writing in her reading journal that she reads them too.

All her comments from reading at school say things like 'read fluently with expression and good comprehension' so not sure why they keep giving her such easy books!

Gosh what a cock up. Good thing you asked then!

That is a huge screw up. I am glad you went in
