Oliver is very excited to be starting his stage 5, as I told him that by the time he finishes it , he will be 5 YEARS OLD, guaranteed! So yes, he couldn't wait to get stuck in. So, come his first first book, he finds it quite easy...until he realises there are now 24 PAGES instead of 16!
He wasn't all too pleased about it, even when I told hims it was a natural side effect of getting older. But, in effect , the amount of the reading material was more or less the same, just smaller letters and more pages, so when he finished it , he was more or less, along the lines, 'oh well, no big deal'.
On my part , I expected it to be a little bit more complicated, but whatever, we'll just move onto the normal books after these. Songbooks worked wonderfully for Oliver, as well as they did for Jazz, so I expect Jo will be starting on them, too, when he's 4.
