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.

Phonemes for the Blue Group:

Recap all phonemes a – z

Words for the Green Group :

boat, foal, coat, road, float, loan, him, all, came

Words for the Yellow Group:

Same as Red Group.  In addition, think of two words of your own which have the “igh” phoneme.   Write them down.  Are they spelled correctly?
