Help your Child with our Parents' Resources

Our series of articles aimed at parents gives advice on how you can help your child in positive ways and how to support them in their education. The articles have an emphasis on encouragement and show how learning activities can be fun.

We show how you can help your child with learning to read, a vital skill for accessing knowledge and information in the modern world. Our Learning Numbers article has advice on how you can help pre-school children learn and understand numbers.

We are often being asked by parents if we can recommend toys which are fun and that can help children to learn. We have recommended a selection of toys and games that are great for promoting a child's development. We think they are good value for money and we have explained some the educational benefits of each.

Schoolwork can be hard and it is important that children feel that they can achieve. Only then will they become confident people. Our Helping with Homework article has tips on how you can help your child benefit most from the work that they bring home.
