As mentioned, reading is part of this year's homework, along with weekly spellings. Children will need to practise their spellings weekly. Your child has a spelling book with their words listed, and the quiz will take place on Friday. Please do not use the book to practise with.

If you would like to complete additional activities to support your child's learning, I have outlined some suggestions below.
