The books you will be reading and discussing are:

Our Parents' Guide to turning a reluctant reader into a literacy lover also offers suggestions to help you understand why your child might not enjoy reading, and what you can do to help them fall in love with books.

Thank you for all your extraordinary materials that have made working with my Year 6 child such a pleasure.

This is an excellent resource, for anybody looking to understand more about the curriculum that your children are studying and add some extra support at home. Highly recommended by a parent of two children who uses this from Reception to Year 4.

- 5-star review on Trustpilot from Anne-Marie Allman

I loved that the 11+ Programme built up each skill slowly but you knew that everything would be covered by the end.

- Christine

We found TheSchoolRun collateral very useful, timely, fun and relevant for our Y6 child. He went on to attain superb SATs results, with all the hard work definitely making a huge difference.
