You can help your child at home by:
•Reading their library book to them and talking about the story and any new words to build their vocabulary.
•Listening to your child read their phonics reading book every day. It is important to be patient and give them time to work out the letters and the words. They may not be experts after only one read but after several reads of the same book you will see how fluent they become as they memorise the text.
•Use the letters in the phonics pouch to build words. Please see ‘Thoughts for the Weekend’ for each weeks words
