Recent research shows that parents tend to overestimate boys' skills more than girls' in #maths. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in which overconfident kids do better. Should we overrate our children to capitalise on this effect? More here 👉

Build confidence: kids can get lost in the move from standard kids' picture books to the more 'grown up' chapter books. If this is the case, try asking at your library for illustrated versions of books. Don't dismiss comic books or graphic novels!

Find out what they want to read - and it's ok if this is exclusively football stats or stories about unicorns!🦄 As long as it gives them the bug for reading for pleasure, it could be just the start they need.

Make it a Habit - But Not a Chore Carve out some time in the day that is just for reading. Keep it quiet, relaxed and fun. When mustering enthusiasm for reading is hard work, make it a little more exciting by creating a reading 'den'.

Time for some snowflake #maths! It may not be snowing yet, but when it does take some time to look up close - see if kids can spot lines of symmetry (or often 'not quite symmetry', as snowflakes can take quite a bashing as they fall!). Snowflake maths facts 👇
