Please click on the link below to find a full list of all the spellings your child should learn by the end of Year 6.

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.
