Home Learning opportunities: 

Reading 

Your child will be given a Read Write Inc or Accelerated Reader book to share with you at home . This book will be matched to your child's phonic ability and will be changed weekly on their book change day or after quizzing for Accelerated Readers.

Our new approach to reading is to build the children's fluency. 

The first read allows them for 'Fred talking' the words where they can sound out the word aloud and then blend it together.

The second read, we encourage the children to sound the words out in their head (Fred in their head). 

The third read is for fluency where children should now be able to read it without the need to sound out everything. 

Please also ask your child lots of questions based on the text to help with their comprehension and understanding of the story.

Feel free talk to your child's class teacher should you need further advice or guidance. 

Spellings

Your child will soon receive weekly spellings- please find the overview of these further down the page. 

Please go to the Curriculum Overview tab for documents detailing the topics, themes and books we will be covering this year.
