Reading 

Regular reading is vital for your child to make progress with their literacy skills. The children read three times a week in school with an adult to develop fluency and comprehension skills.

Your child will bring home:

• Learn to Read Book: Your child will read this confidently and it matches the phonics they have been learning in school that week

• Love to Read Book: A book chosen by your child from the library to share together at home.

• Ebook access to the book they have read 3 times throughout the week via the Collins Big Cat link (see the inside of your child's reading record).

Your child would benefit enormously by reading at least three times per week for a minimum of 10 minutes. Please record your child's reading in their reading record book as they are regularly checked and monitored.

Handwriting

Handwriting is an important part of writing and we practise this throughout the school day.

In your child's writing pack you will find a whiteboard, pen, rubber and letter formation sheets. Please practise these at home, children can use any pen/pencil they want and try to encourage them to use a tripod grip, as we have started practicing it at school.

Maths

Your child has been given a Maths pack including the following:

Number line, formation rhymes, flashcards, tens frames.

Possible ideas to help you children with Maths include:

• Exposing the children to numbers frequently

• Counting out loud rather than in your head

• Using positional language with them, especially if giving instructions

• Using comparative language

• Helping children see maths in everyday life enables them to understand its value and wide application.
