They had these books when I was at school. The colour names get more complex as the difficulty gets harder. Normally they'll start on red or blue, something like that, and as they get near the end the colours are named things like Olive (which I remember as being the more difficult) and maroon etc.

I wouldn't worry though, if you find he is a bit lower it might make you feel like your failing him or something and if you get frustrated then he'll sense it and feel nervous too. Its important that he ENJOYS the reading, thats just the main thing. Dont put pressure on him and he'll flourish.

Also encourage him buy letting him a book to buy at the shops every now and again, and ask the assistant what books are popular with his age group at the moment. They're usually knowledgable on the reviews and should be able to pick a selection that he'll enjoy.

England is quite advanced with teaching reading, many countries dont actually begin teaching children to read til 7 years of age, and many foreign students come her eto study at universities every year and can read and write english fine, and it'll be mainly down to them simply enjoying reading from a young age, not necessarily being top at the class.
