13. WESSEX GARDENS’ FOCUS ON THE TEACHING OF VOCABULARY

14. How can we make our school more ‘word aware’?
The key to overcoming this issue is for parents and teachers to work together. Word learning is most effective when it is done in context and so it helps if parents can be kept informed of the topics being covered in class along with the key topic words.

15. How can we help at home?
Would any parents like to share what they do at home to help with their child’s learning?
