How to choose the right level
A good practice sheet is one the child can do mostly right, with a little effort. If more than a third of the answers are wrong, the sheet is too hard: step back one level and build up again. If every answer is right in a few minutes, move on. Ten to fifteen minutes a day does more than one long sitting on Sunday.
Children in the same class can be at very different places, and that is normal. Use the class lists above as a map, not as a rule.
