How you can help your child: Continue to read with your child at home and ask questions similar to those on the tests. Play games that help to develop mental arithmetic for example number bonds, times tables, addition and subtraction within 100. Take any opportunity you can to get your child writing, for example shopping lists, diary entries, cards, letters, invitations or short stories. Encourage your child to play games on educational websites such as; www.phonicsplay.co.uk http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks1/ Bug Club www.maths-games.org http://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/5-7-years/counting
