Reading Exam Parent Pressure
I posted this on general forum and have had some lovely replies from helpful parents. Would also be particularly interested in hearing from parents with Reading Boys experience in relation to the level my DS is achieving thus far. Thanks!
Preparing for Reading Boys this year. My DS is currently using Bond Books 4 in VR/NVR. English and Maths he is on Books 4 in 10 min tests and working through books 3 in long tests in English and Maths. Still six months to go but feeling unduly panicked by other parents whose boys apparently on books 5 in all subjects - help! Should I be speeding up more in getting through these books or ignore all other claims! Any help much appreciated.....

Re: Reading Exam Parent Pressure
I know some will argue but the exams seems to favour maths types over english. My son has a place his maths is very high (not going to go into) english he should get a 5a or 5b in sats. reasoning tests are good to do as our son saw them as a fun quiz but we only did about 2 months of preperation just worked through a bond book
