I was after some opinions.
DD1 (year 5) Is requested to do reading for at least 15 minutes a day. No issues there, she loves to read. She has, however, been bringing home books to read out of the "reader bin" - These don't utterly thrill her. Some are a little dated. So she has been reading her own books. Now, she has issues with emotional development, so she has been reading books that are somewhat "personal" - personal experiences etc. She has read the entire whimpy kid collection, and is fast making her way through the Dear Dumb Diary series. Both these series have been good for her, in that she can see social situations unfold, and how others have coped. Would it be fair enough of me to ask her teacher NOT to make her bring home classroom books, but to keep a log of her own books? I am not sure it is the content they are going for, more consistent reading... which we will achieve better with her own choice in book. |

My daughter just started grade 3 and she is now expected to find her own books to read, I would actually prefer readers ATM as she struggles a little and tends to pick books from the library that are to advanced for her.
