Spring 2 – Week 1

How to help your child at home

  1. Practise spelling Year 3/4 Statutory spellings or Common exception words in lots of fun ways and applying them in sentences. 
  2. Read with your child daily, asking them challenging questions about their reading.
  3. Practise recalling number facts including times tables, addition and subtraction.
  4. Practice writing with your child – it could be something you have done at the weekend or something that they are interested in.
