Weekly Home Learning Expectations – Autumn Term

1. Reading Practise – Please take some time to share stories and read with your child, once your child has a reading book please support your child to practise their reading at least 3 times a week - short daily practise is most beneficial to their reading development, please record all home reading in their Reading Journal. All children will change their books to share on a Thursday. Year 1 children will read to an adult on a Monday and Thursday, but may read more with class volunteers, so if they could please bring their reading folder to school each day. 

2. Phonics Practise - Please practise RWI sounds with your children at home.
