Parent Learning Platform

Just 5 Minutes a Day = 282,000 Words a Year!

Did you know that a child who reads for just 5 minutes a day is exposed to 282,000 words in a year? Compare that to only 8,000 words for a child who reads just 1 minute a day!

Every minute counts when it comes to building vocabulary, imagination, and a lifelong love of learning. So grab a book, set a timer, and make reading a daily habit!

It’s okay for kids to make mistakes! Mistakes aren’t failures—they’re opportunities to learn, grow, and build resilience. Every time a child stumbles, they gain a chance to develop problem-solving skills and confidence.

During Mental Health Week, let’s remind children (and ourselves!) that learning comes from trying, failing, and trying again. When we make a mistake, we discover something new!

Encourage curiosity, celebrate effort, and embrace the learning process. Because progress, not perfection, is what truly matters.

Is your child preparing for the 4+ assessments this autumn? The Parent Learning Platform is offering mock assessments this July to help them get ready! Email us at [email protected] for more details and to book a slot. Let's set them up for success!

Parent Learning Platform is proud to support the charity, Sebby’s Corner, as one of their champions for the Families in Crisis Appeal. Through our work as educational consultants, Julia and I have witnessed firsthand the amazing work they do to support families who can’t afford to buy clean nappies for their children. We are honored to be a small part of this vital cause.

Sebby’s Corner provides basic essentials such as formula, nappies, toiletries, and clothing to families in need. Imagine going to the supermarket and having to decide between buying nappies or formula for your baby because you can't afford both. Picture your daughter getting her period but not being able to afford both period products and renewing her bus pass for school. These heartbreaking choices are a daily reality for many of the hundreds of families Sebby’s Corner supports, with demand for their services skyrocketing and families being in more desperate situations than ever.

Every donation received during this 36-hour campaign will be matched, thus DOUBLING YOUR DONATION. Any donation you can make, big or small, is hugely appreciated and will allow Sebby’s Corner to continue their work so no parent has to make these impossible decisions for their children.

For younger learners, the visual appeal of images on these mats not only captures attention but also aids memory. Associating words with pictures enhances vocabulary and comprehension. As children progress, the mats provide a scaffold for more complex language structures. The beauty lies in their adaptability – from early years to primary school, the same mats can be revisited, offering familiarity and reinforcement. Consistent use builds confidence and fluency, creating a solid foundation for effective communication and writing skills. 🖊️✨ #Education #WritingSkills #LanguageLearning #homeeducation Comment below with a ❤️ for a FREE copy#Who wants phase 5?

It consists of a rectangular frame with 10 squares, typically arranged in two rows of five. ⭕️In early years (EYFS), students use ten frames to represent and explore numbers up to 10, fostering a foundational understanding of quantity and counting. ▪️As students progress through Key Stage 1 (KS1), they continue using ten frames to reinforce addition and subtraction concepts within the 10-unit range. The visual aid helps children visualise and internalise numerical relationships. 🔷In Key Stage 2 (KS2), ten frames can be adapted to more complex problems, extending their utility for advanced arithmetic and problem-solving.

📚 Dive into tricky words! 🧩 These words break the rules, making them challenging for young learners. 🧠 Memorising can be tough, especially for kids with dyslexic tendencies. ⭕️ Instead, encourage your child to unravel the sounds within the word – spot the initial and final sounds. ⭕️ This method may make learning easier, focusing on just one unique spelling. ⭕️ Mark the unfamiliar part with a heart or smiley face for effective embedding! 💡 #Education #PhonicsJourney #learningadventure #themumedition #phonics

🌟When parents are actively involved in their child’s school work, they can make up to an additional 4️⃣ months’ progress over the course of an academic year.

🌟 Children with a low attainment or additional needs who can find aspects of learning challenging, can make even more progress

🌟Research shows that when a parent works 1:1 with their child at home, this can have even greater impact, with up to 5️⃣ months additional progress.
