Dd has some un diagnosed sen.

I'm trying to keep her ticking over at home. Little and often between lots of doing what she wants!
But I'd love something more concrete to be working towards to help boost her before year 3.
Her reading level is around 6 to 7.

I've signed up to reading eggs, she does about 10 mins everyday.
We do flash cards.
Reading little and often.
Handwriting practise.
We are working through the most common words for spelling.
She's quite good with 2,3,5,10 and 11 times tables so we will start 4...and carry on.

We have done a history project on Florence nightingale which she enjoyed.
The school are not forthcoming with her giving us more information so I can't go back to the school.

Can anyone tell me is there anything else aside from the basics we can work on eg... Perhaps 3d shapes?

Meant to say, no SEN here and still behind your DD.

Reading every day, you reading to her, talking about the meaning of a word, a sentence. Looking at the pictures to see what clues it gives. Talk about what might happen next and why you think that. Practice making links, ask does it remind her of something - a place, a person, a different story or film.
What's her handwriting like, can she form all letters and numbers correctly? Does she need to improve her fine motor skills or are they ok?
She's young, this time is an opportunity to develop some interests of her own, whether it's bughunting,singing,drawing, making up stories. Make it fun, let her measure ingredients, share ou t packets of biscuits or grapes and help cook. Playing card and board games can help with maths, and there's lots of online games.
It doesn't have to be like school, let her benefit from 1:1 talking with you.

Some brilliant suggestions thank you.

Reading chest! I had forgotten about this. Thank you - we have joined it and I feel so much better knowing we can move her on with the ORT levels and document this in her reading record so they wont force her to do them all again. This is going to be a massive massive plus.

ALSO WE looked at twinkl but everything still seems paid for - eg I wanted some times table resources but we had to pay - 4 x tale
