How to use it
- 1Find your child's current level. If they have never taken a Sabha exam, a teacher can check their reading and writing and suggest the right starting point.
- 2Tick each level as it is passed and write the year next to it. Children like seeing the list fill up.
- 3Plan one level at a time. Each exam builds on the last, so skipping ahead rarely saves time.
- 4Keep the checklist with your child's certificates, so the record is in one place when a school or college asks.
