Reading

Our phonics scheme is called ‘Essential Letters and Sounds’ (ELS). To begin with, we revisit and focus on Phase sounds introduced at the end of Foundation. The children will bring home a phonics book to practise their sounds to be read at home. This book should be brought to school every day in their school book bag. Please encourage your child to read every day; little and often is best.

For those children who are confident and fluent with their phonics, they will bring home colour-banded books. matched to their reading and comprehension ability.

Homework

Homework will be set each Thursday or Friday and sent home via the Dojo platform. Spellings will be tested on a Friday. The logins for Spelling Shed and are in the front of their reading record books.

Communication

Class Dojo is our main point of contact. We will update this platform regularly. If you ever have any non-urgent questions or queries, please send a message through this platform and someone will get back to you as soon as possible. Any urgent messages should be reported through the school office. Thank you for your support.
