Literacy

This term, we’re going to be enjoying learning about 'Traditional Tales'  through a mixture Directed Tasks and activities which will help children understand different structures of writing. Later on throughout the term we will introduce 'poetry'  through our Guided Reading sessions to help with inferencing and comprehension. This will be with a particular focus on the book 'A first poetry book' which will allow for a range of poems for all children to adapt to their reading ability to be challenged.

Our main focus will be Phonics which children have been doing twice daily, where children have been put into their targeted groups. This is due to the Y1 Phonics Screening Test which is at the end of Y1. Parents are reminded to practice at home with their decodable phonics reading book to encourage the sounds being taught at school.

This year, one of our main priorities is reading. Our Class Reads take place at the end of the school day and will be from a variety of authors.
