Reading

Children will take home a reading book matched to their phonic assessments.  Please use this record book to record when they have read and a short message about.  There is no set day for reading so please ensure children have these in their book bags daily. 

Spellings

This term we will begin to send out spellings to practise. Please do not panic, this is just a great way for the children to develop their segmenting skills. Words will be matched to their current phonic knowledge using split digraphs from phase 5c.
