Levels 2B, 2A and 3 in reading, writing and numeracy

[NorhamGardens]

Can anyone point me in the direction of the best, clearest site to see what criteria children have to meet to move upwards from a level 2B? Thanks

I found this online. Reading development suggestions for parents moving from level 2B to 2A:

I make few mistakes in my reading
I have lots of different ways to work out a word & when I make a mistake in my reading I re-read to make sense of the text.
When reading aloud I use expression
I can make suggestions about how a story might have ended, change the events or extend the story
I can retell a story clearly with detail
I can talk about how a book is written in presented
I can give reasons as to why I think something might happen & compare my predictions to other books
I can use dictionaries
I am happy to talk about a book and find evidence to support my opinions
I can read longer books silently
I am familiar with chapters, headings, paragraphs, titles and number systems in information books.

Would teachers agree that if a child can do all of these things they would likely be a secure 2A in reading?

On the right hand side menu are links to pdf files for the different levels. So if your child is a lvl 2a, you would look at lvl 2-3.

This is called APP (assessing pupil's progress) and is what a lot of schools use. It's quite good for seeing the next steps.
