This Reading Test will give you a reading age for each child tested.
The Reading Test consists of a list of 110 words, arranged in groups of ten, and presented in increasing order of difficulty.
This version of the test was developed using the results from a representative sample of 2200 primary school children in Scotland.
The children tested were aged from four to twelve years old, but it was found that the test was not suitable for use with children younger than six years and four months.
Age range: 6.4 years to 12 years

Give your student’s a pretend job (Job A, B, C, D, E) OR let them choose their own job!

Now get them to complete the template provided by calculating the daily, weekly, monthly and annual salary.
Once calculated, tell them that the government takes away a BIG chunk, as does the NHS … then you’ve got other BILLS to pay! Just watch their faces drop … definitely a wake up call and an introduction to adult working life!
