This year in Explore Team home learning will be reading, spelling and numeracy. We expect children to read at home every night. This could be a school home reader, poem, library book, book from home or a chapter book. Regular home reading at this level is vital to consolidate reading skills and build comprehension skills. Please ensure you sign your child's green reading log book each night and encourage your child to bring their reading folder and reading log to school every day. Sometimes at school your child may read a longer text over several days. If your child does not bring a reader home, we encourage children to read a personal choice book, like a library book or chapter book from home.
We encourage children to use their Reading Eggs and Mathletics accounts at home to support our learning programmes. http://www.readingeggs.co.nzhttp://www.mathletics.co.nz Essential list spelling words.
