Reading measures

Suggested reading age
ages 14–17
Ambleside year
Year 9 onwards · ages 14–17

An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.

Eugénie Foa's life of Napoleon Bonaparte for young readers, translated from the French, follows him from his Corsican boyhood to the moment he became a soldier: the island, the family, the early schooling, and the first signs of the ambition that would carry him to the throne of France. Written for children, it treats the years before the fame as a story worth telling for its own sake.
