O M G there are books other than O R flipping T . If your school is giving easy books then go to the blardy library and get your kid a book they find hard. oR whatever. But schools are not librarys/book shops. There is limited money for books. esp wh...

So stop whining and realise that ORT is not GOD of reading.

..are you refering to my thread..for advice..on what to do...not to hail ort...

my ds avoided the ORT. he's not had a reading book from school for 3 years. Because he takes them in from home. They don't have to read books from school.

I don't know what ORT is.

Can you do a link, charmkin?

Oxford Reading Tree

A reading scheme, apparently designed with coma in mind.

I asked my son's reception teacher if they had ORT in reception. She pulled a face and said "No, we use books. a lot of them are old books, but the spelling is still the same and the words still work"

She had a damn good point (even if I do remember my little sister bringing some of the books home 13 years ago!)

sorry bit rofl @ links are my nemesis!

ort

Haha.Agree...The mAGIC FECKIN kEY,SOOO DIRE.i AM SURE THESE PUT KIDS OFF READING[GRIN]

Now - and you're going to be shocked at this - that didn't work.

I do apologise for my postIn a rush.

Now my DD is well past that stage I really miss Floppy the dog. I think he was the only thing that kept her attempting to read in Infants. Her school had several other schemes running concurrently and some of those were sooooo booooring I cant even remember what they are.

Magic Key magazines total waste of time and money though! Save the pennies till they are old enough for the Beano.

Oh I loathe Buff, Chump and Skipper. Luckily they don't exclusively use ORT in my dds school but why wouldn't you use the library in addition anyway.
