Below are suggestions of things that you
may like to explore with your child to consolidate your child’s learning at
school. Reading takes priority.
Poetry, Spelling, alphabet and word families all reinforce learning done in
Reading and Writing. Not everything has to be covered every week. Have a look
in your child’s book and find out a possible focus area. Have conversations,
write for your child, look for exciting and new ways to reinforce counting when
you are driving, cooking etc.
