Literacy

Reading

Keeping up with reading is vitally important for children who are away from school for a period of time. Read daily for at least 15 minutes but please read for longer if possible. In addition pupils are encouraged to read books with an adult for pleasure. Can they find tricky words in books .See below for list of tricky words. Can you spell c-v-c words (see below for examples)

Here are lots of useful clips on youtube that support children with the reading of tricky words, cvc/ccvc/cvcc words and simple sentences. Here are a few examples:

Speaking and Listening

Watch a film together, who was the main character? Where was the film set? Do you have a favourite/least favourite part – why?

Build a den – talk about the steps needed. Tell stories over torch light when you are inside.

If you have an iPad use apps like my story, book creator or puppet pals to record your voice over your creations. Remember to use the correct tone, use good words and speak in a clear voice.

Play ‘Simon Says’ to help develop listening skills but play with increasing complex instructions to follow e.g. touch your toes, jump up and down three times, clap your hands, touch your toes and smile.

Writing

Write lists. Write your first and last name. write a diary. One sentence per day and draw a picture.

Write the alphabet using upper and lowercase letters.

Write instructions for building a den, baking or cooking activities, making a bed etc. Remind the children to use ordering words and ‘bossy’ verbs.

Practice reading and spelling tricky words. Children can put these words into sentences and write them out.
