Reading and Spelling
We encourage parents to read with and listen to their child read for a short time every day. Enjoying books is a lovely thing to do together. Reading books and diaries are expected to be in school every day, to allow us to read with your child and change books as necessary. Please write in your child’s diary when you have read with them.
Spellings will be given out each week on Friday. It is important that children practice their spellings at home ready for their test the week after. Spelling books will stay in school but your child will bring home a spelling sheet to help them practice.
