  • 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.
