Parents Evenings / Invitations into school to look at your children’s work.
Ways to SupportReading
Ideally 4 times (20 mins) a week.
Borrow books from Library or school.
Spellings Children will be split in to different groups based on their current knowledge and understanding. Children will have 10 words which are based on a rule or pattern and these will be given out on Monday. Children will then be tested
on Friday. The children will record their score and highlight any words they struggled with, to learn over the
weekend. If they learnt the spellings easily, encourage your child to think of additional words which fit the rule.
