The most important things for reception are things like being able to go to the toilet alone, dress and undress etc. Being happy to be left by mummy, able to share, manners. Academic stuff not so much, they will teach that. Maybe colours, shapes, counting, read to them lots. DS knew basic phonics but that was from nursery. Pencil and fine motor practice is useful.

Your question seems very vague. Best thing you can do is talk to your dc's teacher, and ask what you can do to help him at home.

When he watches tv, get him to watch programmes with real people in, like 'Grandpa in my pocket' rather than cartoons like 'Peppa Pig'. Research shows it can help with language development.

Play games with him like 'pairs' and memory games.

Read to him.

Talk to him about what shapes things are, which slice of cake is biggest and which is smallest.

If he has a tablet play games like 'bugs and buttons'

Watch 'Mr Thorne does phonics' on YouTube.

Does your dc speak any English? If not don't worry.
Children pick up new language a lot easier than adults, I don't think you need to worry so much. .
Like PP says, let them watch English TV, let them go on play dates, take them to library and get books. Just normal things normal parents do.

Many schools will have an information evening which would help you understand how they work and what support is expected at home. At some point he may bring home a "reading" book usually just pictures to talk about initially, then simple phonic sounds to practice and maybe some maths and number activities. At this stage practical skills like using cutlery, fastening buttons and zips, putting on shoes, lining up, taking turns are useful.

You could also visit your local library and choose some picture story books together and read with him. The librarian could show you where the most appropriate books are. Some run story based activities at weekends and in school holidays.
