Reading Reading practice is embedded as part of phonics and English lessons. We aim for the children to read 1:1 with an adult in school at least once a week. However, during some weeks this may not be possible due to bank holidays/training days/ trips out etc. If your child is not read with during one of these weeks, they will be a priority for the next week. I aim to read with each child 1:1 every 3/4 weeks to check their progress and bookband. Later in the year when the children are more confident readers, they may move on to small group reading to focus on comprehension.

Home Learning First term As much home reading as possible. Ideally at least twice a week. Home maths books to be used as appropriate. One project linked to “Dinosaurs”. Weekly Year 2 spellings to learn. Later in the year Weekly maths and English books to be completed at home.
