It seems like you should get some sort of bonus points for being a parent that clearly wants the best for not only your children but all your children's classmates and that you're willing and able to volunteer to make it happen! She should at least give you the respect of trying to talk to you about it before she fires off a letter, IMO.
Do you help currently in your DS9's class so that you could maybe try to bring it up casually one day when you're there? I know it's hard for a teacher to get into an in-depth conversation during school hours, but maybe you could tell her that you were wondering if you could get together and talk about the enrichment reading. I think you definitely need time to plead your DS's case, which to my mind sounds like he's learning to do better.
I know that teachers have to maintain order in their rooms, but it does sound petty, IMO, to take this opportunity away from your son for simple office-keeping infractions.
And, I definitely think you don't need to be in charge of reading enrichment if your son isn't even involved!
I hope it works out.
