There is an abundance of books of pre-prepared material available for sale at bookshops, or you can download them from the internet and print them off.

Only you will know which is best for your students.

Experts suggest that 10 minutes of out of school learning per year group is appropriate so realistically for this age group expect that the students should do 30 minutes of work at home per night.

Learning out of school has a number of purposes. It helps bridge the gap between learning at school and learning at home. It helps to practice or apply knowledge of what has been learned that day, check that the child has understood the lesson and show evidence of learning. Good study habits are best when learned early.

Properly set tasks can not only help the teacher see what the child has learned it can also help the parents see how their child is progressing.

Material prepared in this way has a special advantage in that they teach children to read directions, which will help later on with exam technique. If the child is unable to remember what they learned in class, the learning aid should direct them to explanations of the work in the textbook. Helping, the child understands the value of looking things up for research.

Well-chosen resources for this particular age group should neither exhaust the child nor turn them off from learning.
