Schools, Parenting and Child Development: Help Your Child with English and Maths

During this course you will discover ways to support your child’s education in the UK.

You will learn about the methods teachers use to develop children’s English (reading and writing), maths, topic and communication skills. You will think about ways you can help your own child with learning at home (including homework).

This help you improve your understanding of how schools communicate information (including children’s progress and test results) to parents or carers. You will learn ways to become more involved in your child’s school community. You will develop your own study and digital skills. It will give you the opportunity to discuss your ideas and experiences of UK schools and to ask questions of each other.

• Describe at least 1 way that you could help your child develop maths skills at home.
