Dear Parents and Carers,
Please find attached the Homework Grid for October. The grid includes both “Must Do” and optional activities for your child to complete throughout the month.
Each week, children will bring home either their class novel study or a reading book to help develop their reading skills. For groups reading a novel study book, children will be asked to read 2 chapters at home each week. They will be provided with further instructions about this in class. They will also receive either a spelling wallet with word lists or a word tin containing phonemes and common words to practise at home.
Regular practice at home is extremely beneficial and helps children build confidence in recognising and reading words and phonemes. We encourage you to spend a few minutes each day supporting your child with these activities, as this will reinforce their learning and progress in school.
If there are any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Miss McMahon
