Reading measures

- ages 16–18
- Ambleside year
- Year 11 onwards · ages 16–19
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.
We often settle for reading about the works of Augustine, Calvin, or other “old books” rather than reading the works themselves. C.S. Lewis recommended the reading of old books in his introduction to Athanasius’ On the Incarnation.
