My DD in Year1 reading has been held back to reception level. She has been getting books from PM starters level one and White New Way white level. The books are for those children who are just starting to read A BIG THING from pm starters level 1 , Dad - link www.nelsonthornes.com/pm/index.htm
though when she completed reception she could read books in Oxford Reading Tree stage 4
I saw her teacher and spoke to her and she said my DD knew a few high frequency words and was given a sheet with high frequency words Phase3. I thought they were going to change her reading books to a high level after having a word but when I opened her book bag she has got another set of these reception level books.
This is bugging me badly and have had a few tears as I know my child is far ahead than that. Despite the fact she has been put back to the start of reception level. I also asked other Mums about the books they were getting and have since discovered that some of her classmates are on 3 levels more than her.
Should I go back again to the see the teacher or perhaps see the headteacher or perhaps zip my mouth and help my child buying buying books that are at higher level and can challenge her than move her backwards. What about changing her school?
Help me please really worried?
