My DS is in reception and we've been told by his teacher he's struggling in certain areas of numeracy/ reading compared to the rest of his cohort.
But he can:
Count to 100
Double numbers 1-10
Count in 2s, 5s and 10s
Knows 2D and some 3D shapes
Repeat patterns
Do one more than or one less than numbers 1-20
Do basic sums on his fingers and write the equation (1+3=4) etc
This seems to be broadly in line with what's expected at this age, doesn't it? I don't want to push him when I don't need to. He hates doing anything school like at home. And I know he'd hate even the "games" that have been suggested.
I can see that he may be behind in reading. He can blend simple words like cat, bin, pin, Sam, dip, mat etc and recognise some tricky words like "they" or "said" but nothing beyond that. He does enjoy looking at words and sounds so maybe I could at that with him. But what kind of thing should I be going over?
