Everything adds up at home. Every Hama bead session, every book, chalking on the patio. It all adds up. Well done on helping your child achieve the best outcomes they can.

Little EJ doing a crossword with Big EJ. Playing with words, spellings and solving problems will help his learning. The Home Learning Environment has an enormous impact on a child’s outcomes.

Thank you. I love this tweet. I am one of your babies love.

Get your young child to use jumbo tweezers to pick up raisins and peas while waiting for their dinner. Strong fingers make writing easy at school.

Love this.

I know someone out there needs to hear this right now What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Tipped hat to all the parents doing home schooling today. My children’s schools have done a great job.

Mum and Dad, You are ground zero to your child. You know exactly where they are at. What are their next steps? Aim for a new word today, a jigsaw with 12 pieces, half past not the hour. What you do with your children at home has an enormous impact.

🚨HOME LEARNING SPELLING RESOURCES🚨 I have reformatted and updated my recent Spelling PPT and put together a set of fun activities/games to encourage engagement and practise at 🏠 ! Suitable for all year groups and any word list 😊 Happy to share ✅ DM or comment for a copy👇🏼

This is awesome.

Ask your child questions in the car. Look at that sign. It has a 30 on it. What number can you see on that sign? Every. Interaction. Counts.

Break it down. Teaching is constantly looking to break down the knowledge into the smallest steps for the audience member in front of you.

When reading with your child in Reception, Key Stage 1 and beyond... say the phonics sounds clearly and crisply. Don’t say “ser” but “sss” for S and “c” instead of “cer” for C.

One of the biggest, longest studies ever conducted in education (the EPPSE study) showed that what we do with our children at 0 to 5 years has the biggest impact on their educational outcomes. Sing nursery rhymes, count the spoons, spot the shapes.
