Hi,
What work books would you recommended to buy for a keen and able 4yr old. In particular Maths, writing and science.

I have a dd in reception and have bought her many different workbooks as she likes to learn at home too.
Wilko have some great ones ( wipe clean also ) as do asda.
There's no harm in buying some.
At dd recent parents evening her teacher praised her literacy, phonics, reading etc but said she needs to work on her numeracy.
To be honest the big push since September has been literacy so we haven't really done much maths but have dug out her workbooks and she's willingly doing them a few times a week.
I try to make as much as I can about learning eg when shopping will ask her how much how many...
It all helps, good luck op, it's also preparing our dc for year 1 which is a lot more formal towards learning and will probably be using workbooks in school.

We bought workbooks from local library.( Our local one sells many different ones for £1.)

At this stage/age, I think anything will do, unless you have specific targets.
For writing, I recommend writing diary(My ds used to do it everyday, half drawing, half words.), and also writing story using writing wheels(My ds used to make one from paper plate.)

Irvine that's a great idea over the diary I think I will try that with dd as she loves writing "sentences" some of them make no sense! And she likes to draw so brilliant idea, thanks
