Hope it's ok to post this here, just wanted to ask your advise.
So my ds1 is a year behind in every subject. His teacher tells me he has lots of extra support at school.
I told her I was more than happy to help support him at home with whatever i could.
She seemed pleased to hear this, but has not given me any guidance on what to do or how to do it.
I have been doing some searching for activities and curriculum plans for mainstream year 1/reception and the more I look the more confused I'm getting
I have asked his teacher repeatedly for some guidance on what to do with him but she rarely responds to my communications.
I know she has a lot on what with 30 children in the class, but I really want to be able to encourage and help ds with stuff at home too.
So, what is he supposed to be able to do, and any idea what I should be doing at home with him?
I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction of things we can do at home for numeracy and literacy.
I have a literacy workbook that I ordered from amazon that looks at the first 100 sight words with books for him to make, flash cards, word searches and bingo cards etc but I am at a loss for numeracy.
He doesn't know how to do halves, pairs, counting in 5's or 10's and I don't really know where to start.
Up to what number should he recognise?
I'm thinking of starting by checking he knows numbers 1-20 and adding one/taking one away, counting in 2's, 5's and 10's, odds and evens and basic addition/subtraction.
Any tips or pointers would be much appreciated.
TIA
