9. 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.
