Practise:
- Reading, writing and ordering numbers to 1000 including decimals
- Counting on or back in tens and hundreds from any two or three digit number
- Knowing by heart all the addition and subtraction facts for each number to 20
- Knowing by heart multiplication and division facts for all the multiplication tables up to 12
- Using contents, indexes and glossaries
- Asking them questions about their reading books such as “How did the person feel and what would you have felt like?” which encourages them to think and reason
- Asking if they can think of another word that means the same as one of those they have read
