Hi there,
My dd is a young Year 2...she is on white level books (not sure whether this means much to people or depends what book scheme they are using...there seem to be one or two further colour bands before 'free readers'). Anyway, she can read the words in these books without too much problem but often finds the comprehension very difficult to understand...even after I have reread and tried to explain. I have mentioned this to the teacher on a couple of occasions and her answer is that 'yes she does need to work on this' but that 'it will come'. DD and I are both getting frustrated by the small choice of books in this band level and by her lack of comprehension. I do think ( and have for a while) that she is behind in her understanding of language in general anyway. Not sure what or how I can help this or what extra help I should be seeking (we do read to her as well as much as we can). Thanks in advance for your help.
