5 minutes a week to help you help your child grow in confidence at school.
Primary school at home: how can I help my child do well at school? Helping at home is worth about 4 months' extra progress a year at primary, and it's easier when you know what's happening in class.
The method in words
Every evening, one year group:
Monday: Reception
Tuesday: Year 1
Wednesday: Year 2
Thursday: Year 3
Friday: Year 4
Saturday: Year 5
Sunday: Year 6
Each post shows what most classes are on that week, how school teaches it, and one 5-minute thing to try.
Ahead, or still catching up? Follow the years either side too.
