Arithmetic Tests
Although these may cause a few butterflies because of the speed required, children can pick up the methods very quickly with practice. It is also a fantastic opportunity for easy marks. So, if your child struggles with reasoning, help them to become more confident in their written arithmetic so that they can gain extra marks on this paper. 40 marks are available, and can really boost a child’s score up to 100.
Reading
Reading at home will not only improve your child’s reading age and comprehension, but will also help their Maths, Writing and SPAG. We cannot stress enough how important Reading is for your child. At Trevelyan your child takes part in the Accelerated Reading Scheme, which you should have a parent log in for. This scheme not only directs your child to books that will rapidly improve their reading age, but also calculates how many minutes your child is reading for. It is recommended that your child reads for 30 mins a day at the very least, but 45 mins to an hour would be more beneficial.
