Anyone with age 4-6 on the ORT

[samanthar]

Just wondered how old? which school year? your children are and how they find it

ds is on level 2 and finds it very hard ..he has very little idea and is only getting anew one each day as we got through them and he memorises them

dd is on level 5 and racing through them with never a word out of place...does it suddenly get alot harder in level 6 plus
sorry to ask but with parent consultation evening coming up i have one with one issue with it and one with the opposite

many thanks

same as me dinny - we did the same - reading every day and tones of books adn stories here - she loved/loves being read to.

Just seeing dd2 racing ahead makes me realise that dd1 really wasnt 'getting' blends and phonics (she still doesnt tbh).

Mind you the state school they attend is quite academically 'pushy' in its own small way so I think maybe I am looking at it in a slightly skewed way.

DS's school deliberately chop and change between reading schemes, but he is 5.4, Yr 1 and as far as I can work out he is on Stage 10.

As for the OP, I can't recall any huge leaps between levels, but that is possibly because of the chopping and changing?

we have many diff types

jelly and bean is the one that pushes them on the most IME

dd gets blending quite well - in fact, she still sounds out too much, according to her teacher, rather than recognising words by sight...
