Does your reception child have a reading book?

I think it was spring term before my son was sent home with a book, and for a while it was picture Biff/Chip books with no words, he'd just have to say what was happening. Was so boring....! Year 1 is usually quite a big jump in learning, my son came on leaps and bounds.

We have those in our set of ORT books too. Rios comprehension was usually “biff chip and kipper are doing stuff. This isn’t a story” 😂

Ds has had books since starting reception. He started on books with no words but some in the class started in words straight away. They move them all individually according to their individual abilities. He's year one now and is on green books which in his school is the 7th level. I've learnt that levels arnt the same in all schools though. My friends lo is in reception and on level 5 books and there the same books ds was reading on about level 3 at his school. When ds got 'tricky words they were words that can not be sounded out so they had to be learnt rather than read such as 'there' 'were' 'was etc. But they were alongside a reading book not instead off. I would speak to the teacher and ask when he will get a book and there reasons for not giving him one yet? If your happy with their reasons then leave it but if not then tell them you feel they arnt pushing him enough.

Thomas started bringing home reading books this year (he's year 2). He's on the first stage of the Oxford learning tree (pink band). He has a new book every week or so, sometimes every few days. His teacher sends home 3 on holidays so we can practice.
