Reading Diaries
Reading diaries will be checked daily - it is really important that your child is reading at least four times throughout the week. As our aim is to promote a love of reading, if your child is not enjoying their book - and they have given the story a chance to develop - we can get the book swapped, just let us know!
To further your child's reading skills, it is really important to ask inference questions: why has the character done something? What evidence is there to support this? Why might a character have felt a certain way?

Spellings
10 new spellings will be introduced each Monday in class, and released onto EdShed the same day. Spelling Shed is free to download and your child's username and password is available in their reading diary (as is a printed list of the current spellings). Please encourage your child to visit EdShed and to practise these spellings throughout the week - 5 minutes a day is ideal!
TTRS
Times Tables Rockstars is also free to download and the log in information for your child will also be shared in their reading diary. It is really important your child continues to practise times tables regularly as this really helps them in Maths. We ask that they also access this as often as possible in short bursts - 5 minutes a day is also ideal.
