ReadingMama1214 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 On the website, it says that Champion Reader (level 3) is a year 1/kindergarten level. But it doesn't seem to align with american k level. It has kids reading multisyllable words with more complex phonics patterns. Has anyone had a kid compete the game who may have a better idea of the reading level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
displace Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) The first level is basic phonics (very few digraphs). Second level is more advanced phonics, and some sight words, iirc. We didn't do level 3 but I imagine it's either higher phonics, more complex sight words, maybe homophones? I thought they had a s&s on their website? ETA- it is on their website but I can't link on my phone. I googled teach monster read level 3 and found a "game by game comparison", which listed mostly what I guessed. Except detailed. Higher level sentences in level three, more complex vowel grams and sight words, no homophones listed.

It includes complex phonics, more complex sentences, and other things you said. To me that doesn't seem like K level. From what I've seen of K phonics curriculums it is more basic concepts. The website lists the first two levels as preschool and the third as K. Just seems advanced for K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsellian Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It may be just that someone did an age comparison rather than a level one. I think year 1 in England is the same age as kindergarten - 5-6 year olds? The level of reading for year 1 should be higher than K level, because English schools start with reception class for 4-5 year olds, and they teach reading in reception.
