Research shows that: ‘the deeper a student’s level of first language... development, the faster students will progress in their second language’ (i.e English). (Thomas and Collier, 1997).

First Language

• ask questions about the book in your first language
• read every day - even in the holidays

Top Tips

Read every day - even in the holidays

Sleep is important too!

• sleep plays an important role in your child’s ability to

function

• lack of sleep makes it harder for your child to concentrate
• the right amount of sleep is just as important to children’s

development as healthy eating and exercise

• between the ages of five and eleven, your child will need 10
• 12 hours of sleep a night
