Has anyone got a link or information about which skills are needed to read each book band, particularly yellow, blue, green and their corresponding national curriculum level?

Thanks.

Where can I find what you have to do to get a 1c, 1b or 1a. I can't find where to find the national curriculum levels. I am obviously typing the wrong thing into google.

Ps
Any progress on the cvc words yet? sorry I didn't post because I couldn't think of anything to add thatwas helpful.

No progress yet, but from the thread I got some good ideas to discuss with school.

Thats great Indigo.

Panzee, that is great. I am trying to make sure I have not missed any "gaps" when trying to teach dd to read. I think she is too shy to show what she does at home at school and I am looking to see if she has any obvious skills gaps.

It is printing out now, last page first which freaked me out a bit, because level 5 looks scarily hard! I am a very out of date ex early years teacher and level 5 is way out of my depth!

Thanks spaniel, I will try that tomorrow as it is far too late now.
