How You Can Help Your Child in Class 1…

Regularly listen to your child read and talk about their books, ask them to retell the story in their own words or spot interesting words.

Play games that involve counting, adding and taking away.

Talk about the numbers they see about the home and in books.

Explore any phonic sounds they are learning by encouraging them to recognise them in words they might hear in conversation or see in everyday use.

Look at animals and plants around them and how they differ.
