Task 1 – Sounds/Phonemes
We have now learned all the sounds to be taught in P1. Using you child’s personalised revision sound sheet, please read over the sounds each night. If your child doesn’t have one in their school bag they don’t require one but please continue to read over the sounds books each night.
Task 2 – Word lists/reading books
If your child has been issued with a word list or reading book (not all children have these yet) please go over the words and reading.
Please ensure reading books are brought to school everyday as they are required daily.
Task 3 – Formation/Name writing
Please practise writing both first and second names each night. Please practise the correct formation of the letters.
Task 4 – Common Words
Please continue to read over the common word wall, focussing on the set your child is working on.

Task 1 – Teen numbers and beyond!
Dictate numbers 11-20 for your child to write down, encourage the correct order of digits and formation of numbers. Ask your child to tell you about the number, encourage them to partition or break up the number into tens and units, eg 11 – eleven has 1 block of ten and 1 one. If your child is confident with these numbers, challenge them to do this activity with numbers beyond 20, what is the biggest number they can write and partition? The place value game below is really good to further develop this understanding.
