Times Tables Fun with Naughty Katie

Do you struggle to learn times tables? Learn your times tables using an inventive new method created by Lorraine Reed, which involves so much more than simply reciting figures! Join Naughty Katie and her younger sister Misty as they show you that maths can be fun. Author and mother Lorraine feels that not all children find mathematics interesting enough to stimulate their brain, but knows that children can find hearing and reading stories much more fun. With this in mind, she has written Times Tables Fun with Naughty Katie, which utilises a more interactive method of learning. In early 2016, the BBC announced a new scheme that will see every pupil in England being tested on their times tables before they leave primary school. By the age of 11, they will now be expected to know their tables all the way up to 12x12 and will be tested using a computer. These checks will be piloted to about 3,000 pupils in 80 primary schools in summer 2017, before being rolled out across the country later next year.

In Lorraine’s new book, as well as learning the times tables up to 12x12, readers will follow the story of Katie, a very naughty little girl who likes nothing more than teasing her younger sister Misty and causing havoc! Being read as a bed-time story each night, children will enjoy Katie and Misty’s adventures whilst learning their time tables in a fun way, with the nightly repetition speeding up the learning process. Times Tables Fun with Naughty Katie will appeal to children and adults who struggle with traditional learning methods
