How much progress can primary age child do in 1year?

[mam29]

wondered how much progress can they do and whats expected level of progress.

My dd ideally needs to climb 3sub nc levels in writing, reading, maths and science this year to get the expected 2b/average.

shes just going into year 2 england so has sats as well.

would it i theory be possible for her to climb 4sublevels to a 2a ow show some levels at 3c?

3 sub levels is expected, and lots of kids will make 4 sub levels.

Really, really, really don't worry. She is doing absolutely fine.

2 sublevels per yr is the avg. They are not robots so yes can make huge jumps or sit on plateaus for ages.

My dad tells a story about how he jumped 4 reading age years within the space of one calendar year (he started well behind & ended well ahead).

My grandmother took him to library almost daily.

Ljkk - in KS1 2 sublevels is not the average. That's KS2.

Children are expected to make 2 sub levels so 4 would probably be possible but fairly unlikely and difficult to achieve. Not really helpeful for you or your child to have these epectations.

The 2 sub levels a year is a constant battle as children of course dont work this way. Sometimes they make more, sometimes less, sometimes they stop completely (although this would suggest a problem). However, based on this expectation your child should be a 2c at the end of next year, which is fine.

Is there a reason you specifically want a 3c?

At my DC's school the expected level at the end if year 1 is 1b and at the end of year 2 2b. So they are expected to make a whole level progress.

I know children who end year1 on 1c and go onto get a 3, the same level as those ending year 1 on 2c and b's.

Understand what you guys saying.

Not a pushy parent honest.

reason I ask is if childs just slightly behind.

yes its possible for them to catch up where they need to be.

but is it possible for them to ever excel at one area and get higher

or will they forever be playing catch up.

I used the sub levels as a measurable example.

I be super chuffed if she hits 2b by end of year 2 but as long as shes tried her best and feel us as parents and the school done all they can then I be happy.

shes made such progress with her maths and writing this summer.

Im also wondering if by time we get end of term school report maybe those grades already out of date as could have been scored months ago.

she reads the reading level in school-very easily so needs to go up one next term think level 4.

maths they say she struggles

but done 2workbooklets 4-5 and 5-6 letts and shes managed those fine.
shes doing carol vordmans maths summer camp and on the whole doing really good at that too.

I think year 2worries me as its last year infants, keystage 1 and sats.
im sure she be fine.

The schools last ofsted was negative about progress kids make in writing so focussing on that.

this summers shes wrote and illustrated a story book which I laminated.

kept a holiday journal.

asked a freinds little girl if she fancies a penpal as shes year 2 and lives away so be good at letter writing.

next we going to design newspaper and comic and try and keep it fun.
got book from libary on keystage 1.

shes also enjoyed the libary reading challenge as I keep saying forget reading levels and just enjoy the story.

Havent really touched on any science though as havent had time.

Dident want summer to be all work no play,

so shes been building her lego,crafts,drawings, playdough, few daytrips and park.

thanks primrose encouraging.

its because she scored equal score in all be easier if one was higher than lower.

I feel her numeracy is weaker than her literacy.

but its been lovley this summer to see her confidence grow a little and less preoccupied wit hwat everyone else in class is doing.

In KS1 children are "expected" to make 1 full level progress per year (3 sub levels) as Indigo said, so your daughter is on target to meet national expectations at the end of Y2 mam29.

In KS2 children are expected to make 1 full level progress every 2 years which some posters seem to be confused about.

There isn't a national expectation for Y1, 3, 4 or 5 just for end of Key Stages but 1B at the end of Y1 means she is doing fine.

Dd2 made 5 sub levels in reading from the end of reception to the end of year 1, so entirely possible.

oops, sorry, the whole sublevels progress thing is confusing & I mostly try to ignore it (must learn to keep to that resolve in future). I meant to say "target" increase, not avg, too.

Iamnotminterested -wow thats fab progress how did you manage it?
was it you or the school you think that helped?
sometimes think some subjects click later but when they do they progress quickly from my toddler who hardly spoke who went to whole conversations rather than randpm words.

Makes me feel postive. keep doing what we doing.
talk and work with with the school.

DS went up 2 and a half years worth of levels in year 2 in reading. No idea how many sublevels that is. He went from behind to being very ahead. Just lots of reading with him on my behalf.
