Releve excersizes while you're standing will help, but that isnt your only option. rolling your ankles, and point-flex excersizes while you're sitting will help. and if you pretend you're writing the Alphabet (in all capitals) with your feet will help strengthen your ankles as well.. also asking your dance instructor to show you and maybe your class some simple excersizes you can do as well, most times watching someone is better than reading about it.
but to be able to go on pointe, you also need good, strong arches in your feet. point-flex excersizes will help those too. be sure your feet (ankles and arches) are strong before you go up on pointe.
i hope this helped. if you need any more help with your feet to prepare for pointe dont be afraid to ask me.

Bouncing on your feet up and down and lifting weights strapped to your ankles

i would join ballet

stand on an edge (like a step on a staircase) and stand with the balls of your feet are on the edge with the rest of your foot hanging off. do 20 rises and 2-3 repetitions. doing this often should increase the strength of your ankles for pointe.

another exercise you could do is while wearing your pointe shoes (which I am assuming you have) go up on full pointe and do plies on full pointe but make sure to keep your ankles locked. this is really good for strengthening your ankles for pointe.

To be on pointe shoes, your entire legs must be very strong so to strengthen your ankles even further, do many releves, and when i say many, i mean many! preferably in each position. and practice basic ballet barre exercises.

pointe your toes and flex them repeditly
