Reception
Homework
We do not send home weekly homework. However, we expect the children to regularly revisit the flashcards and words which have been sent home. The children could create different words from the flashcards, practise writing the words and sounds, or try to teach their teddies (or grown-ups) about what they have learnt. Please note: New flashcards are only sent home on weeks when the children have learnt new sounds. You can find the phonics songs we sing in school via the link below.
Reading at Home
Children in Reception bring home a phonics book and a choice book and these are changed on a Friday. We ask that children read their phonics books at least 3 times before changing them.
- First read – decoding (sounding out words)
- Second read – comprehension (understanding the text)
- Third read – fluency (reading smoothly and confidently)
When reading with your child, you could talk about the pictures, make predictions about what might happen next, see if you can spot any recognisable letters and talk about how the characters are feeling and why.
