Any alternatives to Kumon for maths? Something like reading chest?

[gardenplants]

My DS is in Y1 and is a little behind with everything due to mild SN.

I started him on reading chest a couple of terms ago and this has gone really, really well. Previously at school, he had been in the remedial group for reading but he is now keeping up with the majority of the rest of the class, which has done wonders for his confidence and he is no longer in the remedial group.

He is still in the remedial group for maths and as far as I can work out, he is at the bottom of that group. I need to help him but I don't know what to do with him. He is willing to sit down and work with me at home for 5-10 mins a day, but I have no idea what he should have learnt at school. Is there anything like reading chest/alternative to kumon as I would prefer to help him at home when it suits him, rather than taking him to a class.

Any help appreciated!

My DD (4, turns 5 in August) has just started in Reception as we had been living abroad. She was in a Kindergarten where there was no focus on formal 'learning' such as phonics etc but lots of arts, cratfs, outdoor oplay. So she is behind and it seems quite a bit. The teachern said she is at the level the other reception kids were at when they first joined. She is able but just behind because she has not had any learning.

We had a very teary heart to heart this evening where she said she was sad about school, they do the learning very quickly, the teacher doesn't help her, tells her she has to do it on her own, it's very noisy and loud (30 pupils per class, two classes next to eachother in open plan layout). She was in a class of 12-14 with two carers in her Kindergarten so I know it's all going to be a big shock for her but I just wonder whether I have also picked the wrong school and whther a private school would be better...I did speak to one private school however who intimated that she might not be accepted if she was too far behind the others. Argh...can anybody offer any words of wisdom? My stomach is in knots for her.

Thanks
