Literacy

Six children from fourth class and five children from fifth class come to Learning Support with me every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for 40 minutes at a time.

I mainly do work based on literacy with them.   We read different stories and complete exercises based on the story to ensure the children have understood what has happened in the text.

I also complete work focusing on grammar, spelling and punctuation with the children.   At the moment we are completing work based on nouns and pronouns.

After Hallowe'en the children from fourth class will be reading the book "Danny the Champion of the World" by Roald Dahl and the children from fifth class will be reading "Mr. Stink" by David Walliams.   We are really looking forward to reading our new novels!

It is vital that you listen to your child reading every night.  Please also ask them a couple of questions about the piece to ensure they have understood what they have read.
