Hi Jo!
First of all, there is a little icon on the lower left corner of your orignial post that says:'Email Post'
You can click it and the 'This post and all replies' option, and any responses will go to your mailbox.
Second, this is not at all unusual. You should be glad that she has enough 'social sense' to know and care what other people are thinking about her reading. She may be wrong, or she may be reading deeply rooted feelings from her teacher. If possible, find her an educational setting where the teacher is well aware that reading 4 year olds exist, and 'gets' them.
It isn't up to your 4 year old to self-advocate. It's up to the adults to 'see' her for who she is and make her feel welcome. If you are going to leave her their for the parts that she likes, then you can see if you can jiggle things behind the scenes, but don't load up DD with advice that may well backfire.
Being 'unique' is something that every child will eventually have to face, but most children don't find it a plus.
So glad you found us!
