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 each week. Introducing the children to exciting new books and vocabulary and encouraging their love for language and mark making/writing. We will also be having 'Rhyme time' once a week where the children will be introduced to different nursery rhymes and poems.

'Cosy Club' Reading Books

Each 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.
