About this deal

Many mums call me to discuss their child’s reading level. They worry that their child’s classmates seem to have different colour books. Does this ring a bell with you? If so, read on!The Oxford Reading Tree banding gives a pretty good guide on where your child’s reading should be.

Here is our ‘All you need to know about the Oxford Reading Tree’ parents’ guide to help you understand their system and to see if your child’s reading is at the right level. So what level book should your child be reading in school? It is really important to read from your child’s reading book (or another book at the right level) every day. It can seem like a struggle or a chore if your child is unenthusiastic, but try and find the time – your child’s reading skills will blossom for it. Before your child starts reading, chat about the cover and title. Talk about what the book might be about.When your child is learning to read, they need to read books at the right level of challenge. If your child’s book is too hard, they will find it frustrating (and so will you) and might be put off reading. If their book is too easy, their reading won’t get any better. Your child will read a number of books at one level, band or colour before your child’s teacher will decide that they are ready to move on. Stories take children from familiar, predictable events at home and school into the less certain realms of fantasy through the magic key adventures. Books contain inside cover notes to support children in their reading. If your child is struggling with a word, help them to break it down into individual sounds, then blend the sounds together. Breaking words down into syllables can also help. With longer or compoundwords, support children to identify elements of the word they might know or find easier to decode, for instance, rain/ing, kind/est, foot/ball. Cover up part of the word and encourage children to read it in smaller chunks. The Oxford Reading Tree is a reading scheme which has been developed to help children learn to read between the ages of 4 and 11. It comprises over 800 books which have been graded according to their difficulty into 20 ‘Oxford Levels’ and 17 ‘Colour Bands’. Published by the Oxford University Press, it is the reading scheme used by most schools in the UK. Biff, Chip and Kipper are loved by millions of children and are frequently ranked in the top ten of children’s favourite characters. The stories are guaranteed to hook children into reading as they follow the characters on their magical adventures.

A reading scheme is a series of books that have been carefully written to help children learn to read. Your child’s school probably has at least one reading scheme such as Oxford Reading Tree, Big Cat or Bug Club. The books will be organised into levels, or bands, or colours.
