Every child will receive a Little Wandle reading book to take home on a Thursday and will return these on a Monday. This book will have been read by your child in 3 group reading sessions, please continue to support your child with fluency with additional home reading sessions.

From Autumn 2 children will receive weekly spelling home work linked to our Little Wandle sessions. Children will be tested on six of these spellings on a Thursday.

In Year 1 children are encouraged to read every day for adults and to record this in their reading diaries.
All children have access to a wide variety of books. Parents can support their children's learning through sharing stories and the pleasure of reading, discussing topics we are learning in class and giving the children the opportunity to apply learning in a range of scenarios or real life situations.
