Our Daily Reading programme is well and truly up and running in our classroom. I hope that you are able to find 15 minutes every day to complete the set tasks that your child brings home.

• Sight words
• Sounds
• Reader
• Don’t forget to sign the Communication Book each time your child reads his/her book.

Sound books

• Trace the sounds with your writing hand be sure to start in the correct spot and follow the arrows.
• Say the sound of the letter, not the name.

Sight words.

• Did you know that sight words must be read in 3 seconds?
• Children should be able to read these words when I change the order and transfer their word knowledge, that is read them in lots of different contexts, signs, books.

When reading please encourage your child to

• Spend time looking at the pictures.
• Finger point, hold the book and turn pages for themselves.

 

Please ensure that all of these items come to school every day for learning activities.

Are you free any day between 8.45am and 9.15 am?

If so, why not come along and support our reading program by listening to children read.  Grandparents are more than welcome to join us but will require a DCSI screening.

Please keep an eye out for the Enterprise Day information that will come home this week.

On Tuesday morning Mrs Hedger will be in taking the class and following our learning program whilst the Reception teachers are released to work with our Maths Co-ordinator for half a day.
