How you will help your child learn

You do not need to be a teacher to help your child learn – there are simple things that you can do at home to support what they are doing at school.

• Encourage them to be curious and help them find answers to their questions.
• Read with your child and listen to them read – this will develop their English skills and encourage them to read for fun.
• Ask your child what they think of the book they are reading, this helps develop their comprehension, analysis, and communication skills.
• Ask your child what they learnt in their Q&A sessions and Live Lessons, talk to them about what they have learnt and help build on their understanding.
