This Progress with Oxford Numbers Age 6-7 workbook will help your child to progress with these core maths skills while having fun so they will become confident with using numbers. Each Progress with Oxford book is focused on the skills your child will need to master at each stage of the school curriculum. The books are precisely matched to your child's age to make sure they are aligned with school expectations for their year, helping children to fully achieve their potential. The series has been created to help every child develop essential skills at home, with minimal help and support. Picture clues are used to show very young children how to complete activities, whilst reminder boxes, tips and advice support older children to become self-sufficient learners. A lively character accompanies your child through all the colourful and engaging activities, and fun stickers are included to reward their work. A handy progress chart at the end of each book captures their achievements, so you both know what to do next. Find further support on the Oxford Owl at Home website, which provides specific advice on helping your child with number knowledge, and fun activities to extend their skills.

The Progress with Oxford series offer a 'constant companion' in each book which  are little characters who help along the way, making it fun and enjoyable for the little ones. * theworldistheirclassroom.blogspot.com *
The two activity books sent in our package I loved, and more importantly so do my Bitsy Bookworms! Created with busy families in mind, from a parents point of view they are fabulous! They fully support the National Curriculum, and best of all, have picture clues to show your child how to do each activity independently genius! All of the books contain a character to keep learning fun and contain loads of fun stickers to reward effort. There's also a progress chart at the back which is a handy checker for both of you as to which objectives have been met. * bitsybookworms.com *
