Hi,
My ds is 6 in march and in year 1. He has done well at school so far, but I have noticed that he's not progressing as quickly as he was...for e.g his maths and his reading.
He is a good reader, but he needs to catch up on the comprehension side...any tips to help with this? He is on reading level 5 on Oxford Reading tree.
Unless he has a number line he struggles with simple sums and often I get this little blank look from him...At school they are encouraging no number lines and to try and work out on your own.
So, what do you do with your year 1 children at home? Each night we read his school books and do spellings. Have just started him with some writing practice, but I don't want to push him as he wants to have fun when he comes in from school. Any tips for fun educational stuff at home much appreciated.
Thanks Lucy

What extra work (apart from homework) do you do with your Year 1 children..?
