Ways to help your child at home
-
In order to promote regular reading, we ask every child to read for at least twenty minutes a day at home. This could be independent reading, reading with a sibling or adult or shared reading (you read a bit, they read a bit). Please ensure that the new reading records are signed every time they read. For every five entries in the reading record, children will earn a raffle ticket which gives them the chance to win a book at the end of each term.
- Encourage children to blend words that they find tricky and ask questions to check their reading comprehension.
-
Practise Lexia (if this applies to your child).
-
Practise spellings regularly.
-
Practise Times Tables using Times Table Rockstars.
-
Practise mental addition/subtraction and number bonds with Numbots (Same login as TTRockstars).
-
Use Doodle, little and often, to support your child's progression in Maths, English and Spelling.
-
For your mental health, use Headspace Mindfulness website. There are many great techniques for calming a busy mind and centering yourself.
