Ask nicely if there's a reason.
Sometimes a kid's retelling-the-story-to-others ability is not where their tested reading level is-- the teacher may be keeping books for retelling practice or some other skill work. Often teachers do have a purpose for this kind of choice, and aren't just being neglectful.

That reason makes sense as do the others - and I think you are right that there is purpose here, I just think whatever her purpose is will get lost due to disinterest. He reads them all, it's not that he is ignoring anything but if she wants to hear him talk character and development she needs to listen to him talk about NERDS not Arthur!!! He is certainly not lacking in reading material and there is plenty for him to do at school so part of me thinks don't fight this, but then the rest of me knows this is just wrong for him!!
