- Reading a range of fiction and non-fiction books with your child will help them develop a love of reading and help them learn new knowledge.
- Build on your child’s passions and interests: Where you can, talk to your child about their developing interests and provide them with opportunities to learn more.
- You also might want to take your child on a visit to the British Museum to learn more about the Romans.
Your support will make a massive difference to their self-esteem, confidence, and capacity to develop their skills and knowledge.
