How can you help? Little and Often is the key. Read with your child, listen to them read, enjoy and talk about the books you have shared. Support them in their learning but don’t do it for them, home learning should be consolidation of what is done in school, your child shouldn’t need too much help to complete the tasks set. Encourage them to try hard and present their work to a good standard. Practise times tables together, X2, X5, X10.
