What can you do at home to help? Make sure homework is completed to a good standard and returned neatly and on time. Read with your child, preferably a variety of text types, and most importantly talk to your child about what they are reading daily. Find a routine that works for you to help learn times tables and spellings. Ideally a quick daily review has the most impact.
