IS MY 4 YEAR OLD READY FOR RECEPTION YEAR?

IS MY 4 YEAR OLD READY FOR RECEPTION YEAR?

Today’s post is for any parents that have kids in reception.

Children in reception classes are expected to be independent because they have to start learning how to do stuff for themselves in school.

So what can you do as a parent to help your child in reception class?

1. Encourage them to practice dressing and undressing independently including putting on their own shoes.
2. Practice using a knife and fork to eat and cut up food. 
3. Teach them how to write their own name.
4. When outside, point out bus numbers to them and ask them if they can recognise the numbers.
5. In the shop allow them to count how many things you have in the baskets. If your house have a stair, encourage them to count them with you.
6. Show them how to hold pencils correctly and practice writing simple phonics sounds like (s,a,t,p) with them.
7. And don’t forget to teach them manners when speaking with others and practice using this sentence “can I have that please” or “can you help me please” etc 
8. In addition, try and read books with them daily. 10 minutes before bed is enough. 

I hope this helps 🥰

I know some of you may be worried about your little angels spending a whole day at school now, please don’t worry they’re are in good hands and they will be fine 😊

Have a wonderful day guys and remain blessed 😊❤️❤️
