HOME READING

Please help your child to achieve their full potential as readers by ensuring that they read at home every day. Evidence of reading at home must be recorded in their Reading Diary for their book to be changed in school.

REMEMBER as developing readers it is a good idea for children to read shorter books twice to develop both their decoding skills and comprehension.

HOMEWORK

Spellings Children will be given up to 8 key words to learn at home each week. These will be sent home on a Monday in the reading diary.

TT Rockstars We want to encourage children to access TT Rockstars as frequently as possible to help become numerically fluent. Class competitions will be regularly shared with the children.

English and Maths Children will be given a piece of English and Maths homework to complete in their homework books.
