At SharpStart, we understand that the early years of education lay the foundation for future success. Key Stage 1 (KS1) is a critical period when children develop their basic literacy and numeracy skills. During these years, students begin to understand how to read, write, and work with numbers—essential abilities that they will build upon for the rest of their academic journey.
We provide tailored support for children in Years 1 and 2, ensuring that they master fundamental concepts and develop a love for learning. Our tutors are experts in early childhood education and offer a balance of structured learning and engaging activities to stimulate curiosity. Here’s what we cover:
Phonics and Reading: We help students decode words, improve their reading fluency, and build comprehension skills. A strong grasp of phonics is essential for literacy development.
Numeracy: We cover key topics such as counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Our tutors use real-life examples and fun activities to make maths relatable.
Spelling, Grammar, and Handwriting: Developing early writing skills helps students express themselves clearly. We guide them through spelling rules, sentence construction, and neat handwriting.
Creative Thinking and Problem-Solving: Through puzzles, games, and collaborative tasks, we encourage children to think critically and develop problem-solving skills.
Many children face challenges in these early years, such as struggling with phonics or finding numeracy difficult. These hurdles can impact their confidence if not addressed early. That’s why expert tuition is so valuable. Our tutors offer personalised attention, adapting lessons to suit each child’s learning style and pace. By fostering a supportive and encouraging environment, we help students overcome challenges and build a strong academic foundation.
Investing in early education can set your child up for long-term success. With SharpStart, you can ensure your child is not just keeping up but excelling from the very start.
