Ideas for helping your child at home;

  1. Hear your child read every day (little and often). This can be using a reading book, online Bugclub book or book/ comic of your own choice.

  2. Ask questions about the story. Try to link their own experiences.

  3. Practice your sounds using the sound mats.

  4. Read the ninja words (tricky, common exception, hard to sound out).

  5. Share and enjoy library books/ story books together, including books written by the author of the month.

  6. Practise spelling regularly and apply into sentences (according to age/ ability).

  7. Play word games (I spy).

  8. ‘Have a go’ at writing.

  9. Practise counting, numerical formation, number bonds and times tables (where appropriate).

  10. Complete some activities on the termly homework map.

We also want to support your child's mental health whilst you are at home. Please see the resources below for activities you could compete.
