Literacy Homework

Children will be given a new focus phoneme for spelling once a fortnight. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however for now the children can decide how they would like to develop their understanding of words containing the selected phoneme.

We use many different activities in class to support the development of spelling. Here is a helpful list just incase:

  • Phoneme charts/challenges
  • Blue Vowels
  • Vowel Circle
  • Rainbow Write
  • Elkonin Boxes
  • Diacritical Marking
