Key Stage One – Laying the Foundation of Phonics and Early Math’s

Key Stage One Laying the Foundation of Phonics
and Early Maths
2
Key Stage One might be the first part of your
childs school education but its also one of
the most crucial to their future enjoyment of
learning!   While its easy to assume that a few
months of lost learning wont have a significant
impact at a young age, the opposite is true. Last
summer, the ETS team received an unprecedented
volume of calls from Year One parents, hugely
concerned with the weeks of missed
school.   Many families have faced challenges in
helping primary students catch up. They have
bypassed essential reading, spelling, and math's
elements yet progressed into a new year group
without pause.   Engaging a private tutor can,
and does, provide a substantial benefit for Key
Stage One learners and it can support young
children in feeling more confident, engaged, and
ready to learn when they step into the classroom.

The Impact of Lost Learning in Key Stage One
Students
4

• Lets begin by recapping the hurdles our smallest
  learners are dealing with
•  
• Topics such as maths and phonics are fundamental
  building blocks, which their ongoing attainment
  is reliant on.
• Many schools have struggled to adapt their
  curriculum plans to bridge varying gaps and dont
  have the capacity to adjust lessons to better
  help students who are beginning to feel left
  behind.
• Frustration builds quickly, where pupils lack
  essential skills they should have been taught,
  leading to profound anxiety, particularly with
  maths.
• While much focus has been on GCSE and A-Level
  students, early years education paves the way
  for every pupils experience throughout primary
  school and onto secondary. Year One is perhaps
  the most vital in embedding reading and
  mathematical concepts.
•  
• Any primary child finding school a challenge, or
  experiencing learning-associated stress, will
  benefit from private tuition throughout the
  eleven years of education ahead.

Expectations for Learning Levels at The End of
Year One
If youre concerned that your child has suffered
from a lack of understanding due to lost
classroom time, lets summaries the core
expectations for Year One students
6

• Knowledge of all 44 phonemes for reading.
• The ability to count, read and write numbers up
  to 100.
• Accurate reading using sound blending.
• Skills in multiplying in twos, fives, and tens.
• Reading words with plurals and endings such as
  -ing, -ed, and -est.
• Understand general numerical vocabulary such as
  equal, difference, fractions etc
• While children are often resilient and can make
  up for lost time, this isnt a general
  expectation parents can rely on. Many will miss
  some, or all, of the markers listed above this
  year. Parents, guardians and careers can find
  more information online through the Letters and
  Sounds website, with daily lessons to show the
  skills Year One children are expected to work on.
•  
• Schools tend to follow a structured phonics
  programmer. However, the task of assisting every
  student in classes of up to 30 learners is an
  enormous one. To add to the issue, the government
  cancelled phonics assessments at the end of Year
  One last year due to school closures. Therefore,
  many schools have no way of identifying students
  with considerable learning gaps.
•  
• Taking action now is a proactive opportunity to
  support pupils who are struggling. It will
  ensure they can hit every benchmark with the
  assurance that their tutor will help them gain a
  thorough grasp of any learning areas they havent
  yet understood.

Choosing a Key Stage One Phonics and Early Maths
Tutor
The best math tutor Brighton for your child will
depend on a range of factors, with a bespoke
matching service to ensure the tuition is highly
tailored to the most beneficial learning style.

• That includes
•  
• Helping academically advanced children who
  require a greater intellectual challenge to
  ensure they have the opportunity to reach their
  potential.
• Assisting children who find school daunting or
  feel that they arent progressing at the same
  rate as their peers.
• Crafting lessons to the child and delivering
  materials in ways they can absorb and understand,
  where mainstream learning techniques do not meet
  their needs.
• Ensuring pupils with learning differences have
  accessible teaching styles and one-to-one support
  to further their understanding of baseline
  subjects.
• Key Stage One and indeed the breadth of primary
  years learning is a tender stage, perhaps the
  most vulnerable to disruption. The adverse
  impacts of the pandemic and lost education will
  rebound across the years to come.
•  
• Helping your child overcome fears and
  frustrations at the primary level, and at this
  pivotal moment in time, is an excellent way to
  cement the core phonics and math's knowledge they
  need to succeed. Engaging the services of a
  private tutor is the most effective way of
  reinforcing those skills and enhances the
  aptitude required to progress onto a new phase of
  school life with confidence.
