Please encourage your child to read everyday.
In year 1 we will be trying to help the children to improve their reading this year, developing their phonics so that they become confident, independent readers.
We follow the read write inc. phonics in school. Please find the link below to the read write inc. website. Here you can watch clips that explain phonics, the phonics screening test in Year 1 and top tips for reading with your child.
This year is St James’ ‘Year of Reading’! The importance and benefits of reading from a young age cannot be underestimated – children are sent home with new reading books each week, but if you would like further inspiration regarding some inspiring children’s authors please ask. I would be more than happy to help!
Year One’s Summer homework – please pop in for a chat or message me on our class dojo app if you are unsure or would like any help at all!
