As children acquire their reading skills they move through the Cam Everlands Reading Scheme. The levels within this scheme are indicated by colour.

The EYFS and KS1 progression is:

• Brown
• Pink
• Red  - It is expected that Year R children are confident readers in this band
• Yellow                          
• Light blue
• Green
• Orange
• Turquoise  - It is expected that Year 1 children are confident readers in this band
• Purple
• Gold
• White - It is expected that Year 2 children are confident readers in this band

This is followed by Lime, Ruby and Sapphire that are aimed at giving the children the time and experience of reading many types of stories, information texts and poetry to become confident, independent readers.

The KS2 progression is:

• White
• Lime
• Ruby
• Sapphire
