Questions parents ask
- Which year should I choose?
- Start with your child's school year. Each year has six books, worked through in order from Book 1, with one short English session and one short Maths session a week.
- Are the answers included?
- Yes. The grown-up guide at the back of every book has answers and helpful prompts, so there is nothing else to buy.
- How long does each session take?
- The books suggest about 10 to 15 minutes a session in Years 1 and 2, and 15 to 20 minutes from Year 3, with English and Maths on different days. Reception is play-based and led by a grown-up, so go at your child’s pace. A third page each week has an optional extra step and a progress check.
