Reading and Phonics
Please, please remember the importance of having a regular time to snuggle and share stories, read your child's reading book with them and revisit the sounds for their phonics book. This time at home with you really does make a significant impact on their progress. In addition to the children’s reading books, we will also be sending home words for the children to learn to read by sight. You will be able to find more information on our phonics page
Literacy Focus
We will be enjoying ...
'Drawing Club' - where we will be introducing the children to exciting new books and vocabulary and encouraging their love for language and mark making/writing as they consider the characters, settings and adventures from the story. There is always an exciting, and quite often funny, 'code' that happens too!
'Story, Music and Rhyme Time' - where the children will be introduced to different nursery rhymes, poems and stories.
'Helicopter Stories' - where the children will choose to make up their own stories and the teacher acts as scribe. The whole class then becomes involved with the 'author' to act out the story together!
'Cosy Club' Reading Books
Each half term we will choose books to focus on reading and enjoying with the children.
By focusing on a collection of books we can allow the children to understand the books in real depth; they will learn new vocabulary, be able to predict what comes next and really engage in the story giving them confidence in their early reading skills.
