DS (4) comes home with an ORT book a week but so far they've all been the ones without words. Is this normal for this point in reception or should I be getting worried?
I've been taking the attitude that 'he'll get there when he get's there' and DS is young for the year (he won't be 5 until September). Just wondering whether I should be doing more with him at home to encourage the reading. We read loads of picture books together but I'm not doing any work with his actual reading / phonics. He seems to know all the phonics sounds though.
I don't actually know whether he's ready for the next level up or not as I don't have any way of testing. I'm finding myself trying to get a sneaky peak at the books coming home with other children to see whether its just him and I really do not want to be THAT mother! I'm concerned the teacher will think I'm being pushy if I suggest it to her (particularly if she thinks he's not ready).
Not in the UK so can't just go an borrow a book from the library and see how he gets on or I'd do that.
