Question about educationcity website - what level?

... someone recommended the website and we've tried it for the last 10 days - I have to say I've been really impressed with it and ds1 (6) absolutely loves it.

The only thing I noticed is that he is basically getting everything at the year 1 level right. I'm not surprised tbh, he's quite bright and loves a challenge. He had his reading assessed recently and it was a couple of years above his expected age.

I'm planning to subscribe, but tell me honestly - should I just think great, he's enjoying the year 1 stuff, let him enjoy it (I can see that it's a big confidence boost to get 100% all the time). Or is he going to get bored with it after a month or so and want a bit more of a challenge.

I know it makes me sound like Princess Pushy asking this, but I don't want to waste the money if the exercises are all similar and he gets bored. Any views? TIA.

I too thought it was great but ds has done all the year 1 maths in three or so weeks but can't move up to year 2 as he can't read the questions and also has not done the maths yet at school so would struggle.

I thought there would be endless new exercises but there really is not enough there ...one day off ill and two snowy school days more or less gave enough time to get throughtthem

I think you can change on line or they do it when you ring up

dd is on Year 1 for Maths but Year 2 for literacy

But equally now she has been racing through this what is she supposed to do for the rest of the year?

It is fab but there needs to be more

You can make a couple of changes to levels throughout the year.
