Out of interest, following the Harry Potter fest, I revisited the reading tests that I did in December with the offspring. Small now gets about half the words in each box up to 88, never missing more than a couple in a row, although he declined to go any further (grade 8 month 8 – 13 years old?). Big made her way into the next, so up to 92 (grade 9 month 2, perhaps 14?), though she mispronounced many of the words in exactly the same way he did.
Fascinating. Who knew that reading what you want to when you want to could be so good for your reading level 😉
