Year 1 are changing the way we change books in school. As we want children to read not only for decoding words but also for understanding, we will now change books once a week on a Tuesday but give them 2 books for the week. This may seem like less but we want to encourage the re-reading of the same book with a focus on understanding content and answering different types of questions about the texts.
Parents and teachers all have the same goal, to improve your child's reading, therefore your support at home is paramount in helping us to achieve this goal. To help you help us, your child has been given a pack of resources to use with you at home - we hope you find it useful. We have also included some phonics resources such as flash cards which can be cut up and shown to the children regularly for extra practice.
Please keep the folders of resources at home but just ensure your child keeps their reading books and diaries in their school bags everyday.
Once more we thank you for your support, please don't hesitate to pop in if you have any questions regarding this.
