Here's a link for book bands and NC Levels: This is from a hertfordshire school - and they have ORT (Oxford Reading Tree) blue band as Level 4 and NC Level 1b, which isn't particularly high for Year 2 (see Mumsnet info on progress through NC Levels: Or if you go to 'Bug Club' - and click blue Parent Help button and then click underlined Book Band Levels - you'll see that they have blue book band as intermediate Y1/ Y2 level. A child might thrive on reading Airfix model instructions or antique railway timetables and still struggle the the bilge that school brings. Also, reading doesn't have to be done from books. Go to the large central library if your local library does not have such a person, appointments permitting. If, on the other hand, your child is plodding along with his reading then by all means do listen to and read all the things that the teacher says, but also take your son to the library and speak to the early years coordinator on the library staff. My personal instinct on this subject is (if your child is doing well, and reading Dahl/Potter/Blyton at home and some unspeakable rubbish at school, then by all means ask for school to chivvy the unspeakable rubbish to become progressively less unspeakable and show the teacher finished Dahl books.īut be prepared for her to smile, nod, not listen to a word that you've said and shove another piece of mindless drivel in your child's book bag.
I think all schools manage their reading policies differently, some vary wildly from what seems the usual relatively slow plod through the ORT scheme.
