I've just realized today that DS1 is now less than 6 months off from starting Reception. Kind of crept up on us!
I'm sorry if this thread has been done a 100 times, but I wondered if anyone has any tips for stuff I should be doing with him over the next 6 months to get him 'ready.'
In terms of writing and numbers etc I reckon he is fine for his age (he turned 4 in December), so I mean more stuff like wiping his own bum (he does it at nursery but it's hit and miss), dressing himself (again, hit and miss but not bad). Are there other things? And are there any tips on reading and writing whilst I am here? I am just figuring that reading with him every night and making sure he can reco and write his own name is probably enough. He gets annoyed when I try and coax him to write or read words for himself so I've dropped it and simply read to him.
Thanks if you have any tips!
