I had to respond to this post!
I have a DD who is 7 yrs old and last year when we where about a week from going on holiday her teacher asked to speak to me.Apparantly my DD had been asking her every day if she could have some work sheets to take on holiday with her.
She comes home every friday with 2 work sheets and we sit for 20 mins after DS has gone to bed and read her reading book with her.We write in her book about how she has done and when she has finished it she just changes it so we arnt reading the same thing all week.
I love sitting down with her doing home work and reading because i feel i am part of her learning.
I also read to my DS every night who is 3yrs old.
Like it was said on an earlier post it is important to have the basics before they start school.
