My sons are going to be 8 & 10 in the fall. They have been in tiny private school for 2 years while I had to take a break from homeschool. I am bringing them back home, but I have no idea how to tell what reading level they are in. Any suggestions on how to determine that?
Also I want to put them in Saxon math, which is what they have been using. The youngest completed Saxon 2 and the oldest completed Saxon 3. I tested them with the Saxon placement test, but the youngest didn't do well in some areas, and the test determined he should go back to Saxon 1. He missed some basics such as time, money, and counting by 2's, and that is why he was put into Saxon 1. From looking at his math, he does well at the addition and subtraction he has been doing, so I don't know that putting him in 1 again is a good idea. I would love some input. Thank you!!
