How to help your child at home

The CGP books are excellent resources that you can use at home to prepare your child for SATs. They are available in English, GPS, reading and maths and available on various websites: The UK's Favourite Educational Books | CGP Books
You can also prepare for SATs with these Bitesize 10 minute tests! Free KS2 SATS Online 10-Minute Tests | CGP Books
READING
Please encourage your child to read a range of different genres. The more they read, the better their vocabulary becomes, which also improves their independent writing.
