Every child in Primary 2.7 was given a folder that contained number families and bond books and coloured card word lists. These can be used at home to revise number work and improve reading, spelling and writing.
Number bonds and families booklets
These booklets contains calculations up to 20. These booklets can be used to reinforce their knowledge and understanding of number bonds and families, which will benefit their learning when they start to move onto carrying/exchanging/multiplying calculations. You can work with your child to improve their knowledge in an oral or written form.
Coloured word cards
There are a number of activities that you can compete with the word lists. The words can be cut into word cards and be used in a number of ways such as:
- Read,say,cover,write and check
- Silly and normal sentences
- Alphabetical order
- Splat game (turn a number of the word cards facing down and get your child to splat a word card. When they splat a word card they turn it over and say the word, if they know they word they keep the word card and if they don’t the card goes back into the game)
- Rainbow words
- Word detective (try to find the word in different places around the house)
