- How long should a child use Firm Foundations?
-
The programme is written for a full year. This is with the likelihood of children attending for a full year in those countries that run a once-a-year enrolment.
For us in NZ, we do recommend that children beginning at these time follow this sequence:
Term 1 new entrants – complete the book
Term 2 new entrants – complete most of the book
Term 3 new entrants – complete some of the book (– but this varies from school to school, because they may not be classed as Year 1’s the following year.) As Year 2’s, Numicon 1 Securing Foundations will be very important the following year.
Term 4 new entrants – continue with Firm Foundations the following year, for the year.
