A 48-page workbook that covers the whole term, so you can teach everything your child learns in Reception in Autumn 1 at home. Autumn 1 is about settling in: me, my family and my new school.

Questions
What does the Reception Autumn 1 workbook cover?
Everything most UK schools teach in Reception in Autumn 1 for the topic “All about me”: phonics (s a t p, i n m d, g o c k, ck e u r, h b f l ff ll ss), letter and number writing, reading words and sentences, stories and rhymes, maths, and sheets for all 7 areas of the EYFS. A 6-week plan shows what to do each week.
Does it follow the EYFS?
Yes. Every sheet names the EYFS area and early learning goal it works towards, and the end-of-term checklist lists them all, so you can see what your child can do.
Do I need to be a teacher to use it?
No. Every sheet has short teaching notes for the grown-up: the key words to use, how to teach it, what to ask, and what to do if it's tricky. About 20 minutes a day is enough.
Do I need to buy the books?
No. The stories are printed in the workbook. The book sheets (Owl Babies, When's My Birthday?, Little Red Riding Hood, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?) work with any edition, so a library copy is fine.
Which handwriting style does it use?
The letter shapes taught in English primary schools, written unjoined as Reception children learn them, on 4-line handwriting guides.
