Useful help for the next small step.

Simple reading, writing and number activities to try at home, plus links to our NSW school stages and NAPLAN guides.

Everyday practice for younger learners

Keep the activity manageable and note where help is needed.

Read and talk

Read a short passage together. Ask your child what it says and which details helped them work that out.

Say it, then write it

Ask your child to say a sentence aloud before writing it.

Make numbers visible

Use everyday objects to count, make groups or show a number pattern. Ask your child to explain what they notice.
