Homework
This will be sent out on a Friday (Numeracy or Reading focus) and is due in the following Wednesday. The children will also bring home weekly spellings to learn and will be tested each week.
Reading
Your children are becoming fluent and expressive readers, but understanding the text that they are reading is just as important. Every week, your child will bring home a colour-banded book, which supports targets for your child's reading level. Please aim to read the book at least 3 times with your child to consolidate and secure their understanding as repetition is key to closing any gaps. In addition, questioning and encouraging your child into a discussion about what they have read will assist their progress. Alongside their colour-banded book, the children should also be reading a book for pleasure, which can include novels, magazines, comics and poems.
When reading with your child, please remember to sign their home reading record so we can assess their progress.
I ask that you aim to read with your child 5 times per week - I know that finding the time can be tricky, but even a 5 minute read can make a difference!
If you have any worries or questions, just drop me a message on Dojo and I will respond as soon as I can.
Thank you for your support,
Miss Clowes
