Keeping Up With My Kids Ltd
Hello, and thanks for your interest in Keeping Up With My Kids. My name is Claire Coles and I am the author of courses for parents of Primary School children.
If you watched the video on my web site you will know my passion, as a qualified and 15 years experienced Primary School Teacher, for strong parental in involvement in a child’s education. I have turned that passion into courses that I know will help you, to help your child, be the best they can be at school.
The courses are aimed at Parents and Guardians of children in what is known as “Key Stage 2†of the National Curriculum. This is generally children in school years 3 to 6, who will typically be aged from rising 7, to 11 years old.
A child’s first, and possibly best, teacher is their mother or father (or other prime carer). Their schooling is something parents MUST get involved with if you want them to be the best they can be. Do not leave it to the school teachers alone – your role is vital.
Learning to read, write and spell, together with general speaking and listening skills, are called Literacy in Primary School. You may have called it “English†when you were at school. Learning about numbers and their use is called Numeracy, or Mathematics as you may have called it. Both subjects are very important for your child’s future, and a good foundation now will be an asset through their school life, right up to GCSE level.
