Anna and another speaker discuss a reading challenge involving choosing a grey book. Anna is concerned about whether grey books are available and whether she can get one today. They talk about the number of children using grey books in the class and the absence of a grey book box. The other speaker explains that Anna might not have been expected to need a grey box at the start of year one because she was finishing purple level books. The conversation touches on the progression through book levels and the availability of books for different reading stages.
