The oxford tree reading books are widely used for read alone or guided reading on higher stages, used in conjunction with assessment & reading progress guides for every level in infant/early junior stages. Every child is different & reads at different stages dependant on understanding & reading ability, also there is usually a huge difference in reading both at school & at home as long as both is done - then should be no worries. I used to do a reading assessment in school for 7-8 year olds, which was extra reading based on an assortment of books & different types on top of their reading book [which was mainly Oxford Tree], these children were average & below on their reading level for their age, after 12 weeks the poorest i had was 6mnths above the level they started on
, so despite short time & the most important bit was gaging their reading interest, expanding on the standard reading book to incorporate, poetry, fiction, nnon fiction & rhyme. This had a big impact on their Literacy tests [English] like in comprehension tests, as well as improving reading - so it does benefit having extra reading doing a bit each day, both at school & at home, i proved a sceptical teacher wrong hehehehe
