Once your child has completed the Read Write Inc phonic program, they will move onto the Read Write Inc spelling program. This comprises of a 15 minute a day spelling session, focusing on common spelling patterns.

Each week, your child will be provided with a spelling list to practise based on their current spelling unit. This will be provided on their Google Classroom.

Every Monday, pupils are given a home reading book to read at home and return on Thursday. Books are then quarantined for a period of 72 hours before being re-distributed. In KS2, the books sent home correlate to book bands determined by the child's reading age. KS2 pupils can keep track of the amount of books read by completing their own personal reading log on Google Classroom. In Foundation Phase, the books sent home correlate with the pupils' Read Write Inc levels.

Maendy Primary has its own YouTube channel where a variety of video tutorials are available to support parents with some of the literacy and numeracy strategies taught.
