I am a fan of children reading – that is no secret. I am also a fan of parents reading to their children. New research is proving me right. There seems to be direct correlation between reading to toddlers and the language skills these children pick up even before they enter school.

Welcome back…continuing from the Part 1 post on Saturday about SATs… …Sir Ken Robinson has suggested home schooling as a way to avoid the test-oriented culture of schooling. The Let the Kids Be Kids organisation is urging parents to bow out of SATs because they, well, don’t let kids be kids and have a negative.

With a week to go until Primary SATs I wanted to share with you some practical advice to help prepare your child for these tests. Try to manage and limit the amount of time your child spends on revision and follow the ‘little and often’ rule which will allow your child time out as well.

"It’s that time of the year again and teachers, children and parents across the country are gearing up for the high stakes Standard Assessment Tests or SATs. These tests were initially designed to indicate a pupil’s progress at various ages, and were supposed to be administered without students even knowing they were being tested.

Is your child struggling to read? Do you suspect that your child might be dyslexic because he/she is a reluctant reader? Are you wondering what you can do to support them? There are as many ways to learn to read and write as there are children. So it’s a fine line between not worrying too.

We spend 90% of our time indoors despite the fact that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outside. Children’s bedrooms can often be the most polluted rooms in the house and so it’s important to air rooms, open windows and let sunlight and fresh air into the room EVERY day.

Having taught children at my private tuition school for over 26 years I have seen and experienced and taught almost all levels of children including those with learning difficulties and physical disabilities. Patience and adapting our teaching methods has been forth and foremost in our teaching environment.

Reading is one of the most difficult and challenging things to encourage in students, but also one of the most important. With reluctant readers, EAL students and those with reading difficulties, especially boys, it is tricky to get them to read at all, and ever trickier to get them to enjoy it.

We have known for a while that children from better-off families fare better in school, in terms of literacy and numeracy skills. However, it was a shock to learn that these disadvantages show up as early as 3 years of age, before children even begin primary school. An analysis by the Economic and Social Research.

Deciding to home school your child is a real commitment. After the worries of curriculum, lesson plans and discipline fade, you might find yourself wondering how to separate the parent from the teacher in life – and more than anything how to magically create more time in your day to do all the things you &help.

Is your son or daughter stressed about their GCSEs or their end of term mock exams? Are you worried they may not actually know how to revise? I am used to supporting students to develop time management skills and organising themselves in order to excel in their academic study skills which will not only see.

A number of private schools have refused to be guinea pigs for this summer’s new tougher GCSEs even though children at state schools are being forced to take them which as a private tutor and educator I find quite astonishing and a clear strategy towards assuring the best results are achieved.

Have you ever said to your children, “I am not a Maths person too and that’s alright.”? If you have, research says you are not doing your children any favours, and are in fact poised to pass on your Maths anxiety to them. You might think you are making your children feel better, being a help.

Schools are cutting PE time due to exam pressure, despite a recent study showing that physical fitness positively affects how well children take in and remember new information. It has also been proved that schools that focus on well-being tend to do better academically. So sacrificing PE to focus on exams seems ironic doesn’t it?

When we send our children to school, we expect them to learn and to become independent learners. Not just learn Literacy and Maths or about the Battle of Waterloo, but also how to live in the world that they will soon join as adults. However, do not assume that life-skills are included as part of help.

How can government spending on education be at record levels and yet funds be cut per student by 8% since 2010? It’s because pupil numbers are rising every year. Plus local authority funding, which directly impacts school funding in the area, is also being cut.

Our dear Thomas the Tank Engine is going multicultural and has even had discussions to ensure it is politically correct with the United Nations. I’m not sure how I really feel about this! While I believe in being inclusive and opening the world of classic children’s stories to all I kind of believe that Thomas help.

When I read this I was not as shocked as I thought I would be…everything nowadays can be bought on the internet and everything is available if you have the money! People, especially students, are so used to having information and services at their fingertips that they would, I suppose, not think twice about getting help.

For someone who was never trained in art and instead read English at Cambridge, Sir Quentin Blake is one of the most distinctive artists in the world. Not only were his illustrations ground-breaking for being quite as important as the Dahl stories they depicted, his work actually is intrinsically linked to our enjoyment of the help.

The Moon activity books, downloadable from my website, are available for sale. The activities within these books have inspired pupils to do work of their own away from our teaching and learning environment.

Amanda Spielman, Ofsted Chief, recently said that some children are arriving at reception class still in nappies and many are unable to say more than a few words. This creates huge issues with communication as they are unable to understand what is being said and are unable to follow simple instructions including “stop” and “no” https://kidslearnfast.co.uk/skills-children-should-learn-at-home/

This is the highest result for any group within England. The boys also did better in these schools too with 67% help.

This is a special blog post for parents, teachers and adults who are in contact with young children. I remember my teacher My Holdroy reading Black Beauty aloud to my whole class in Junior School before home time and I loved our reading hour with him. He was the best teacher anybody could have. https://kidslearnfast.co.uk/reading-aloud-to-your-children/

The changing educational landscape across UK schools leads me to question whether the once proud and envied education system is now in so much trouble that it can no longer compete across international boundaries. How is it that discipline has become such a major issue leading to thousands of exclusions which in turn results. https://kidslearnfast.co.uk/exclusions-and-the-changing-educational-landscape-across-uk-schools/

PART FOUR – Verbal Reasoning Paper Another critical area is the Verbal Reasoning Paper. This is all about having a good understanding of the English Language, its vocabulary and old-fashioned sayings and proverbs. It is also essential your child has a good general knowledge. In order to set this I strongly recommend using an encyclopaedia.
