This week’s homework is slightly different as it’s Practice makes Perfect.
I know the difference between no and know.
I want your child to be able to distinguish between no and know. In the children’s writing this week, some have struggled with writing the correct homophone.
Here are a couple of activities that you can do to test whether your child knows the difference:
- Write no on a piece of paper and on the back write know. Then, read out a sentence and they have to show you whether they need to use no or know.
- Write a sentence and leave a gap in the middle for your child to place either no or know.
The children don’t have to write anything in their books, but they will be tested on iPads on Friday 14 December.
