Lots of threads recently about reading ages. I was wondering how so many of you know your child's reading age - do they get tested at school?
Ds (6) is reading books with a reading age of 8/9 (worked out using FOG readability scale - thanks roisin!) but I don't think he has a reading age of 8/9. So how id it worked out?
I was surprised at the reading ages of the books I looked at - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe worked out as a reading age of 16!
His stage 5 ORT has a reading age of 7, but on the ORT website it says it is for age 5.5 - 6. (I know the results will vary)
