My ds is about to start his last term in reception and started reading at begining of March and is now coming home with Level 3 books which I think is absolutely briliant and about right for his age. Other Mums have said to me their children could read when they started reception and havent really improved on their reading since they started and in some cases got worse and have now got back to Level 3/4. Its got me thinking about the whole thing and I wondered what level schools expect/want by the end of Year 1. I notice on the books he had last time that there were 9 colour coded levels. Is the idea that a child gets through these levels by the time they are 7 or are there more levels to guage a childs progress. Surely theres only so far a 5 year old can go and if they start school reading they can only progress so far in that year. My Ds is doing great acadamically, still is classed as a SN child but the Ed Physch visit recently was really positive and she said his progress was pleasing. Any help on what the goals are for Year 1 appreciated.
