Year 1 Homestudy

Reading – Your child will be responsible for changing their own book when necessary and will be reminded to do this. Daily reading will help them to improve their decoding skills and fluency. Please remember to ask your child lots of questions to check their understanding and encourage them to make predictions about the story outcome. Enjoy!

Library – We will be visiting the library on a Monday afternoon and your child will be able to select a book of their choice to bring home to share with you. Please ensure that the book is returned in your child’s wallet on the following Monday ready for changing. Bronze, silver and gold reward certificates will be awarded in assembly for the number of books read.

Literacy- Each week on a Tuesday your child will bring home a piece of writing homework linked to the theme in a homework book. This work should be completed and returned to school by the following Monday.

Maths- Each week on a Tuesday your child will bring home a piece of maths homework linked to their learning in the homework book. This work should be completed and returned to school by the following Monday.

Spelling- Each week on a Friday your child will bring home their spelling book with the week’s high frequency words and a spelling pattern linked to our phonics programme. Your child will also bring home a sheet containing these words to use the look, cover, write check method to help them learn them. Your child’s spelling book will be taken out of their wallet on a Thursday ready for the spelling test on a Friday.
