My son is reading stage 9 of the ort scheme. He reads well and is developing fluency. I was told at parents evening this week that she will not be moving any of the group onto the next stage because she believes that they are rushing through the book and not understanding the story. I believe that my sons comprehension skills are fine. He can answers question and make predictions about the story. He has had non fiction books for the last half term that have been very old and dated and quite honestly very boring. I know they are being given these books so they don't progress onto stage 10. Am I being unreasonable? Why would you make a whole group tread water for a term? And I'm a primary teacher! Oh when the boot is on the other foot :)
