Reading measures

Suggested reading age
ages 14–18
Ambleside year
Years 9–11 · ages 14–19

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.

E. Pomiformis is much more common and is comparatively indifferent to the nature Of the foundation on which she constructs her cell. She builds on walls, on isolated stones, on the inner wooden surface Of half-closed shutters; or else she adopts an aerial base, the slender twig of a shrub, the withered sprig of a plant Of some sort. Any form Of support serves her purpose. Nor does she trouble about Shelter. Less chilly than her African cousin, she does not shun the un protected spaces exposed to every wind that blows.
