How you can support your child at home:
|
Reading at home |
Children are expected to read to an adult at home for at least 10 minutes daily. School Reading Books are sent home on a Monday. They need to be returned back to school on a Friday. Please indicate in the reading diary when you have read with your child so we know that they require a new book. |
|
Spelling |
Please see attached list of high frequency words below. The children will be learning to read and write these words. We will start with the Phase 2 word bank and then progress onto Phase 3 and Phase 4.
