DK Readers levels compared to ORT

[DreamTeamGirl]

Saw the other DK Readers post and I just wondered if anyone knew or had a table comparing where the DK Readers slot into the reading schemes at all

We have had massive success with some Level 1 Beginning to read books over the last week or so, and I was wondering how they compare to the ORT/ school reading scheme ones

Many thanks, its brilliant to see him sounding out, blending and really focussing on these books

I searched and searched myself a while ago for this information but found nothing. I went to a bookshop and compared dk readers directly to ORT for my son. I think level 1 are around ORT 5/6 and level 6/7 that's compared to my sons reading ability at those stages.

Yes my son just finished orange book band and can confidently read the level 1 ones but has to sound out a few words in the level 2 ones.
