I would appreciate some advice, I don’t want to look like that parent!
My daughter has just started year 4 she was 8 in may (if it makes a difference) she is an avid reader who enjoys reading a lot. She spent most of year 3 selecting her own reading books from the library and from home to read at school. Has good comprehension which is tested by some kind of online quiz at school.
First week of year 4, new teacher, she has been issued a levelled reading book (it has a yellow sticker, apparently black is the highest, I think it may be the schools own system) she hates this book, she says it’s too easy (she reads with good inference and pace). The storyline is quite frankly naff and not particularly interesting.
She read this book once at home and I can’t get her to read it to me anymore. My issue is that I am not prepared to make a battle out of reading with her, I want it to be an enjoyable past time for her not a chore. I had the comment last night that she hates reading, which is not at all true and I don’t want to damage her love of reading. I just want her to read!
How long do I leave it to speak to the teacher?
