  13. Spelling Homework Each week your child will receive a list of words (stapled or glued into jotters) that they can use to complete one literacy task from their grid in their homework jotters. These lists will links to the sounds they have covered in class.

  14. Tricky Words Keyrings Your child’s tricky work keyring will build up a list of tricky words that they will gradually cover over the term in class. Please practise the tricky words provided on a regular basis with your child to increase their word recognition and fluency when reading. When we start to explore a new set of tricky words in class, the next set will be added to their tricky word keyring. It is important to revise all tricky words on a regular basis. If you want to challenge your child further they could practise writing these words too!

  15. Supporting at home Spelling • Practise reading and writing spelling words daily. • Checking your child understands the meaning of their words. Encourage the use of a dictionary if unsure. • Make flash cards.

  16. Numeracy Homework Each week your child can pick one task to complete from their numeracy grid in their homework jotters.

  17. Supporting at home Maths • Regular practise of FWNS and BWNS, finding the number before and after a given number. • Number bonds to 10 and 20 and beyond. • Experience of maths in real life contexts (e.g. handling money, exploring shapes indoors and outdoors, using clock to tell the time). • Opportunities if possible to use Sumdog.

  18. Reading Homework Each week your child will be given one book to take home to read. • Look at and discuss the front cover, back cover, spine, blurb, author and illustrator. • Look at the pictures and talk about them together. • Stop at different parts and predict what will happen next. Also discuss the sequence of the story (Beginning, Middle, End or First, Next, Then, Last). • Look at sentence structure (capital letters, full stops, finger spaces etc.) • Look for known tricky words and sounds (Your child may begin to attempt to blend sounds together to read simple words). • Try to relate the themes in the book to your child’s own experiences. • Also allow time for your child to explore the book independently after reading it together.

  19. Homework - Other • Your child can also use Sumdog at home to support numeracy and maths skills. • Occasionally, they may also have additional tasks related to their class topic. • Other than daily reading, homework is not compulsory and if you feel you do not want your children to receive these additional homework tasks please let the class teacher know in writing.
