I sent off for the Letts workbooks that were on special offer on the Tesco's Weetabix. I got the Maths and English Key Stage 1 workbooks, they say age 5 - 6.
Ds has just turned 5, I think he could manage the Maths one quite easily, but I was quite shocked at how tricky the English one looks. It starts off with getting the child to say where capital letters, full stops and commas should be...surely this is quite hard stuff? Or is this how English is taught now?
He can't read yet, but knows all his letter sounds, and can sound out simple words for himself, and I reckon he could learn to read if I gave it a try. Are these workbooks meant for children who can already read, or is it pre-reading skills?
BTW we are in Scotland, so ds will start school in August.
