Welcome to the Refresher Programme for Reception Year.
The programme content revises the key skills for Reception Year. There are nine tutorials for maths, and nine for English.
Please 🌼click here 🌼 for the summary which will give you details of each tutorial.
Work through the tutorials in order, or select what you need. The tutorials follow the school year, but you can also select the ones that support your child in areas where they may particularly need to develop skills, confidence and aspiration.
Each tutorial has a range of material to suit children working at different levels. This will enable you to use the tutorials more than once to help your child make progress. Choose the activity with the next step of challenge when your child is ready.
