Reading books

I'm wondering if anyone with older children can just pass on their
experiences of reading books from school.
#1 started school in September knowing a good few words but way off being
fluent reader.
The books she brings home are not challenging at all. They tend to say
something along the lines of "I can see a rabbit" "I can see a bird" "I can
see a dog" etc. Now I don't even get the impression they are meant to learn
the words "rabbit" "Bird" "dog" etc. (one of the words in a book was
"salamander" which is why I suspect she's not meant to read them) just learn
the repeated words. The problem I feel is that she hasn't yet had a book
with the words she is meant to be learning that she didn't know the words 6+
months ago. She usually knows, or can work out the extra words too-in fact
there was one book that started with a bit for the adult to read to set the
scene, and she read nearly all of that.
But, her reading has improved, she's sounding out words and her confidence
has increased. I think it's due to other things not the reading books,
though.
I've got parents' evening tomorrow, and I'm wondering whether to say
something or not. If this seems to be typical/expected then I'm happy to
assume there is some reason for it and not say anything, but let her read
harder stuff at home (she's just started reading Secret Seven and she's
pretty much managing with a bit of help)
