Reading measures
- Suggested reading age
- ages 11–14
- Ambleside year
- Year 6 onwards · ages 11–14
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.
This beautiful little story book begins with Greek mythology but by chapter 20 (there are 115 chapters), the mythology turns to ancient repeated stories of Homer and then to the history of the Greeks. The author does not wish to load the children with dates, but does include a couple of maps. Each little chapter from then on is history written as a story to whet the appetite of the listener to learn this important history of those who love freedom and who created such a important civilization.
