Help my Y.3 daughters to make progress

[User202320]

My twin girls are in Year 3 now. They were brilliant students and their teachers and even admin staff often amazed how great they were in their class.I never put attention at home on their learning at that time. Then I have to went back home because of my poor health and no support here with 2, 7 years old and one newborn. I ending up stayed there for about 6 months. Then I came back and reapply for school spaces But there was no spaces any of the schools nearby and I started homeschooling. Which was just covering basic topics of maths and English.
Now they're in Year 3 and in todays parents teacher meeting The teachers told me they are behind in their learning.
My heart breaks and Mum guilt hits me really hard. Seeing my brilliant kids falling behind the class makes me really sad.
Please suggest any apps, books, things to help my kids back on track. I'm already putting efforts and we learn at home on spellings and times table. What should I do other than that.
TIA.

They are making progress, they just started further back because they missed a year. They'll get there, but I wouldn't be adding more to their workload as it's already both catching up and keeping up.

They are clearly bright, have an involved parent and enjoy school, revisit worrying if they fall further behind but otherwise just redefine what progress means from different start points.

What she said.. they'll get back on track. Progress isn't always linear anyway. There is some sort of sense in thinking in key stages - assuming you are in England yours are at the start of key stage 2 it's three years before they leave primary - plenty of time to catch up.

Just do the normal things - read to them, take an interest in what they are doing, get them to spot words/things to read out and about. Work maths into daily life - shopping is obvious one but also fractions of things etc.

I would be wary of making them feel 'behind' or lacking. So avoid overkill with workbooks - if you can introduce in a fairly neutral manner I liked the CGP ones. Straightforward - clear - easy to use. Easy to dip into for 10 mins at a time. But you would need to decide if you want to do key stage 1 to fill any gaps they may have missed in time out of school - or you are helping revise the beginning of Key stage 2 learning.

I’d start by asking the teachers where exactly they are behind as there’s no point in you going over material they already know. Then, ask the teachers which are the most pressing areas. Identify only one or two for each subject then go from there

Tutoring. Please also ask to move your thread to Primary School section

Listen to them read and read to them everyday. Do any homework that is set with them to support them. Apart from that just let them have a lovely, happy childhood, get them writing cards and thank you notes and shopping lists for you, get them working out their pocket money and saving up/spending how much is left, get them working out the time - just lots of useful real life experiences rather than work books (unless they enjoy them some kids do). They're young and there's plenty of time to catch up.
