My DS is 5 so reception. He was getting extra support as behind a bit with writing in particular / fine motor skills and a little with speech.
The teacher was making a plan to try and get him up to speed by year 1 but that's obviously now gone to pot.
We are getting weekly packs from school, nothing crazy, same for the whole class. I'd like to help him get up to speed with everything so he starts year 1 at an even keel with his peers.
Question - how long should we realistically spend a day on structured homeschooling?
I also have a 2.5yr old and we will be doing outdoor play as we are lucky to have a garden and I will get them to help me make lunches/bake and we've got a craft pack coming so will be doing lots of art. We painted some rocks yesterday and DS did dot to dot, some writing and reading and play dough independently.
He also watched lots of TV and played with his normal toys most of the day 😂
I want to make it a bit more structured to actually purposefully work on improving the things he's behind on but I don't want to put him off by overdoing it.
Any tips/advice would be really welcome.
