Welcome to Room 5’s Homework Blog.

This week Phonemes/Spelling and Reading 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).

Phoneme for the Blue Group:

z

Words for the Green Group :

toy, enjoy, royal, boy, cowboy, our, down, off

Words for the Red Group:

fly, shy, cry, sky, why, dry, myself, bring, two, Mr.

Words for the Yellow Group:

Same as Red Group.  In addition, think of two words of your own (children have done this in class this week) which have the same phoneme as we are learning this week.  Write it down.  Is it spelled correctly?
