I really don't remember any school reading scheme after infant school. However, a few fragments of memory support the belief that my teachers just let me get on and read what I liked. I do have a few memories of everyone else being given some comprehension leaflet, and the teacher passing me by on the grounds that there was no need. I remember doing a lot of reading in class, too, so perhaps my experience was the same as yours.

I do remember "reading age" tests - just reading lists of words. I remember, aged 7, stumbling on the last word ("idiosyncrasy") and being very cross with myself. I went home, looked it up, asked my parents how to pronounce it and what it meant, remembered it all year, and proudly got it right the following year.
