SPELLING AT HOME

 

Spelling practise at home can often be challenging. Why not try using a multi-sensory approach! Try making the spellings using play dough, using coloured pens, using toys to make the shape of the letters or even during baking with flour! Rap, sing or link spellings to stories and shapes.

READING AT HOME

Our whole school expectation is that children read at home at least 3 times per week, this can be to an adult or independently.

 

If you do not have access to books at home, please go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and sign up for free access to ebooks

 

Below are some ideas to help support you at home with reading and questioning your child.

We love the question cards (first pdf below).
