Reception Spring 1 worksheets: People who help us
A 48-page workbook that covers the whole term, so you can teach everything your child learns in Reception in Spring 1 at home. Spring 1 is about people who help us: doctors, nurses, firefighters, police officers and the helpers in our community, with Lunar New Year. Children learn the last 2-letter and 3-letter sounds, start reading longer words like tent and frog, write capital letters and their name, count and write numbers to 20, and learn how to keep safe and ask for help.

Questions
What does the Reception Spring 1 workbook cover?
Everything most UK schools teach in Reception in Spring 1 for the topic “People who help us”: phonics (ow oi, ear air, ure er, Revise all digraphs; tricky words said, have, like, so, do, some, Words like tent, milk, hand (CVCC)), 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 (The Three Little Pigs, Supertato, When You're Fast Asleep) 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.
