Welcome to Year 1.2.

We love reading! We use Read, Write Inc to support our teaching of phonics and reading and our children are taught in small targeted groups each day. We assess children each half term so as we are always confident that their phonics learning meets their needs. Every child takes home a Read, Write Inc reading book each week to show off their wonderful reading skills, that they have worked so hard on all week, at home. 

Weekly spellings are also sent home which directly link to their Read, Write Inc assessed level.

Please visit our English curriculum pages to find out more about how we teach phonics within our school.                  

Important information

Homework: each week there are 3 different tasks. 

Reading - children are expected to read at least 3 times per week. This should be recorded in the child's reading diary each time. If a child reads 3 times or more, they will receive a merit.

Spelling - children are expected to complete their weekly spellings, practising 5 times per week. These spellings are directly linked to our phonics programme 'Read, Write Inc.' If a child completes their spellings without errors, they will receive a merit.

Year 2 maths - all children have a login in to Times Table Rock Stars and need to play at least 3 times per week for at least 5 minutes. If a child achieves this, they will receive a merit.

Year 1 phonics - all children receive a phonics homework each week where they are expected to read and sound button the real and alien words. Once completed, children will receive a merit.

Reading books are changed on a Thursday. All homework is marked on a Thursday. Please ensure reading and spelling folders are kept in your child's bookbag.
