Reading and homework

We believe that homework should be purposeful and manageable. Reading should be done every night.

Don’t underestimate the power of reading on your child’s progress at school, it makes a huge impact on their overall learning progression. Support your child in decoding unfamiliar words and attempting to sight read repetitive or high frequency words. It can be helpful to re-read the book again over the week to increase their confidence and fluency.

Spellings will be sent home to learn each week and be tested on a Tuesday. Each week, children will practise their handwriting in class, these sheets will be sent home to complete if not finished in class, and to keep you informed of expectations for handwriting and how well your child is doing.  We will also be sending out this half-term’s maths Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFs). From time to time, other homework may be set as and when needed, such as extra practise or catch-up tasks.

Please keep checking Class Dojo for key messages and updates or photos of what we have been up to in class.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via Dojo or arrange to meet.
