Dd1 is on Ginn Level 11 atm. Her reading group gets one book of short stories/extracts/poems every few weeks, with accompanying comprehension work. They also get a "pocket book" at the same level to read for enjoyment, which is changed every fortnight.
Dd1 is very bored. She finds the reading and comprehension work unchallenging and the pocket book, though reasonably enjoyable, she finishes in 20 minutes!! It sounds like she finishes both the reading and comprehension ahead of all her peers then ends up re-reading the books whilst the others finish their work
We have parents' evening at the end of the month and I want to bring this up with the teacher (in a constructive manner ) but dh and I would both appreciate some input on this subject. Her teacher had talked about getting level 12 in for her before she started this year but they would have to buy it in specially and this doesn't appear to have happened yet.
Given a free choice of reading material it appears to me that she chooses far more challenging stuff but I'm not sure how in touch I am with it all really.
