1) This week your child is continuing to explore how they tune into oral blending and segmenting. Have some fun with your child with this YouTube Video https://youtu.be/NCOBTrrzYfw and send me some pictures for dojo points!
1) This week your child has been exploring how to recall a sequence of events. Have some fun with them by plaing 'The shopping game'. Begin with the phrase 'I went to the shop and bought ..." then list an item. Each time add another item up to five items and celebrate how many they remember. Then expland your game to play 'On my Walk to school game'. Begin with the phrase 'To go to school we went ..." then add some ideas such as 'down the road', 'past the shop, 'round the corner' and again see how much they can remember when they retell the ordered items. Send me a dojo video for points!
To support your child's 'love of reading' as part of our literacy programme read to your child nightly before bed remembering the value of conversation and targeted questioning to enhance their experience;
1) As them about the main characters, plot and setting.
2) Get them to predict what might happen next as part of enjoying reading.
3) At the end ask them about their favourite bits and which bits they didn't like.
4) Can they retell the story in their own words?
Finally, don't forget to read your child's S.T.A.R book with them, they chose that book themselves just for you to share with them.
