Hi there

As title suggests I am looking for recommendations on some good workbooks to prepare my just 6 year old for year two.

There are so many brands I'm not sure what best reflects standard required. In her year 1 report she was exceeding expectations in reading and writing and at expected level for maths and science.

Thanks in advance!

Following that report, I see no need to "prep" her.

Keep reading and talking about books. Very important.

And let her have a nice summer holiday.

Thanks both for replying.

She just very much enjoys workbooks (especially with stickers!) and last summer they were great on rainy days.

There are just so many types I thought it would be worth getting some that are the best reflection of what she'll be doing in September.

We do lots of reading (especially when 9 month old is feeding every 2 hours still!) but she has her eye on frozen themed workbooks so perhaps will just get her those.

Leave her be.

Go to the beach.

My ds loved workbooks too. (Now he is more into online learning.)
I let him choose the ones he liked at store.
As she is advanced and doesn't have particular weak point, any wookbooks she like should be good enough, I think.
!0 minutes a day won't spoil her summer holiday.

Yep the workbooks are only for when she wants to do them. I think she just enjoys the challenge and being able to tick off a page and get her stickers Smile
Will just let het choose whichever she wants in that case thanks all x

I would look at the twinkl website as there is loads there and you can access it throughout the year so maybe cheaper in the long run.

If she likes learning, I would recommend these websites as well. They are great, and free.
