Welcome to Room 5’s Homework Blog.
This week Phonemes/Spelling, Reading and Numeracy homework has been issued.
Phonemes/Spelling
Please try to practise phonemes/phoneme words/common words each night using a multi-sensory activity in preparation for a quiz in class on a Friday. Multi-sensory ideas could include: making the phonemes/words using play dough, painting the phonemes/words, writing the phonemes/words in a sand tray or on a whiteboard/chalkboard, as well as, writing the phonemes/words on a computer then changing the font/size, writing the phonemes/words using fancy letters or with eyes shut. The phonemes/words could even be written using the hand not normally used for writing. Can you think of any new multi-sensory activities to try? These jobs do not have to be returned to school.
Challenge Activities – Try writing a sentence for each word. Remember to use V.C.O.P. (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation). Try to think of more words which have the same phonemes as the ones being revisited this week. Try to write them down. Are they spelled correctly?
