Practice Makes Perfect:
This week’s homework is to practise high frequency words. These are words that your child will come across regularly in their reading books.
- Let your child read through the words. If he/she can read the word colour it in.
- Continue doing this until your child can read all the words independently.
- PLEASE be aware that children may not know all the words, but with practice and repetition these words will become familiar.
- This piece of homework may take a few weeks, so please keep referring to it.
If you have any questions just ask Mrs Maver or Mrs Weekes.
