Once again our current govt shows it's disdain for Maōri and te Tiriti.

You are asking for exclusion. Yon can't aim for the lowest denominator and ALSO to everyone else. This si what people are entry to explain. You are asking not for inclusion, but for privilege to by switched to YOUR CHILD instead of the others.

Yes they should be included, not by removing others.

I'm pretty sure here problem isn't your kid by now though.

Cheers.

    The child has to be struggling with reading to ever be issued an early reader to take home for homework.

    If you are in reading recovery ( ~5 of my sons class ) you make heavy use of the reading resources and will probably go through all of the early readers, in all of the incremental stages.

    Me and my son have read either one or two every night for the last year and a half.

    It seems like I'm talking with people who are mostly clueless about reading education here and are all here for the rage bait headline.
