Common Words
By the end of the week, the children will all be sent home with lists of common words. (These will be added to as we go through the year). It is really important that these are practised at home as this will have a positive impact on reading and writing in class. Some ideas of activities you could do with them could be:
- Read them aloud and say a sentence with the word in it.
- Write them (fancy letters, coloured pencils, type them)
- Find them in books
- Write 2 sets on paper and play ‘match the words’ memory game
- Make your own fun game using the words: find them hidden in the house, bingo etc
Have fun and thanks again for all your support!
