3 years old daughter

[misiu]

What my 3 years old should know already regarding maths and literacy, English language and so on? She is not an English speaker but she will go to English schools next year, when she will be 4 and I need to help her till she turns 4.

Hi, you might want to try posting your question here as that area of the site is specially for people with questions about primary school education.

Basically I don't think they will expect her to know anything, but most children that age will recognise their own name (with English alphabet, if your native language uses a different alphabet) and can probably count up to 10 or 20, and recognise the number symbols. It's also helpful if they can dress themselves a bit, and manage the loo on their own as much as possible.

Of course the more English she speaks, the easier she will find it. Does she go to pre-school now? It might be easier for her to start at a nursery now (which is usually just a few hours a day) and practice her English, rather than jump straight in at full-time "big" school.
