At Key Stage Two level English, children study the four main topics, which are speaking and listening, reading and writing.
Speaking and Listening
Pupils will learn how to speak in a range of contexts, adapting what they say and how they say it to the purpose and the audience. Taking varied roles in groups gives them opportunities to contribute to situations with different demands. They also learn to respond appropriately to others, thinking about what has been said and the language used.
Reading 
During Key Stage Two, pupils read enthusiastically a range of materials and use their knowledge of words, sentences and texts to understand and respond to the meaning. They increase their ability to read challenging and lengthy texts independently. They reflect on the meaning of texts, analysing and discussing them with others.
Writing 
During Key Stage Two, pupils develop an understanding that writing is both essential to thinking and learning, and enjoyable in its own right. They learn the main rules and conventions of written English and start to explore how the English language can be used to express meanings in different ways. They use the planning, drafting and editing process to improve their work and to sustain their fiction and non-fiction writing.
Have you got an interest in online education at Key Stage Two Level, typically children aged 7-11?
Nowadays, more and more parents are seeking online educational tools to help teach their children. With the wealth of material that is now available online, it is very easy to teach your own child. I am not suggesting pulling them from school and doing it all yourself! Unless of course this is a route you have carefully considered.
You do not have to be qualified to teach your child, just access to the internet and the time.
Spending as little as 40-50 minutes per night Monday to Thursday is more than enough to boost their learning with great noticeable results. I wouldn’t advise more than one hour as you do not want to ‘overload’ your wee one’s.
Combining games with learning is a fantastic way to teach children, making education fun for them is the key to success. Based on this rule www.keystagetwo.com, a virtual learning environment has now become one of the top websites for Key Stage Two pupils. The website successfully manages to combine learning while kids play Buccaneers and Lobsters, which is great fun for the little ones - and with the added benefit of learning at the same time!
As KeyStageTwo.com is compliant with the National Curriculum in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, UK schools are now availing of the service. On completion of quick set-up and installation, Schools and teachers use it for…..
-Saving time on marking tests.
-By issuing homework online, reducing photocopying and paper costs.
-By using the individual and class results summary, pinpointing areas requiring improvement, thus raising children’s performance.
-Clearly viewing children’s analysis displaying strengths and weaknesses, allowing the teacher to focus on them and provide feedback where necessary.
Parents use the system under two scenarios, firstly if their children’s school is enrolled in the system already, parents can log on and view their own child’s performance and results, tracking their progress. They also use it to read teacher feedback and use the system with their little ones on a one-to-one basis. Secondly, if a child’s school is not yet enrolled parents can sign up to the system for just ten pounds per month offering unlimited anytime access to all the resources, effectively tutoring the child themselves, at a tiny fraction of the traditional tutoring costs.
Finally, and most importantly KeyStageTwo.com offers fantastic benefits for the kids, too many to mention here! Nip over to the website to learn more, for which I have provided a link on this page.
We would love to have you on board, whether you are a school, primary teacher, parent, tutor or even just a casual reader seeking educational resources with a difference!
