Big Cat Progress books

[sittinginthesun]

If a book says Green Band 5, Ruby Band 14, is it actually Green Band?

Thanks.

is the 14 to do with reading recovery levels?

The Progress books are HILA books ( high interest, low ability ) and are used for children who struggle with reading and require simpler texts but at an age appropriate interest level- think Year 6 children having to read Biff and Chip books!
A Green/Ruby book would be aimed at a child aged around 8-9 but who is reading at around the ability level of a 5-6 year old.

I don't know - school have just rebanded their scheme books, and I think a few are in the wrong boxes!

(Asking the question as a parent, but also have involvement in the books at school).

Ah, thanks! We had it in the box for infants with high reading levels.

Will be going back through the boxes again tomorrow! What fun.
