Reading
Please try and read with your child every night. Really focus on asking questions about their book as this will help them with their reading comprehension.
Times Tables
Our main push this year in Y4 will be times tables knowledge and rapidity. Practising weekly tables and enjoying times tables rockstars (login details can be found inside home reading record) will support you and your child with learning this. Please use the link below for an excellent example of Y4 expectation.
