Level 3: Connect

What you can do at home to practise and revise student learning...

💡Practise the 2x, 4x, 8x tables.

💡Ask your child to read these nonsense words and explain why they would read them that way. Clue: they have long vowel sounds

💡Read 2-3 sentences from a book multiple times and see if their fluency and accuracy improves. Try reading it together - it's not that easy to keep at the same pace. Remember to keep track by using your finger under the words. This is an important skill that doesn't stop after they have learnt to read.

Spelling this week: We are revising homophones - words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. Here are some of the ways we are using to help us remember which witch is which! How many homophones can you list at home?

💡Practise your handwriting. Keep it neat and on the line.

💡 Lots of fun Maths games to play https://www.lovemaths.me/operations-36
