Reading
- Reading with your child every day is the best thing you can do to help them.
- Read to them and let them follow along.
- Listen to them read. Just a few minutes every day helps. They can read any appropriate text they wish, whether that is their school book, their own book, or a newspaper.
- Ask them questions! This helps them understand what they have read which is a very important skill.
Spellings
- Your child will be given a spelling list each week. The weekly spellings can be practised on paper or the children can practise saying each letter out loud to you.
- Practising each day helps the most but every little bit counts!
- Check your child knows what each word means (This will be discussed on a Monday at school so don’t worry if they are unsure.)
- Challenge your child to write their spelling words in a sentence.
Times Tables
- Encourage your child to log in to their Times Tables Rock Stars account if they are allowed internet access.
- Practise saying the times tables! Sing them, whisper them, shout them (perhaps not late at night!) – it all helps!
- Test them on a few calculations at a time e.g. in one week you might only focus on 1 x 3 = 3, 2 x 3 = 6 and 3 x 3 = 9
