Numcion
• The children will be able to use numicon to
support them with their calculations in the
maths paper.
• They can draw anything that helps them.
• We are teaching them strategies to support
them with addition and subtraction such as
the column method.
Reading
• When working with your child at home use
the ‘Reading Prompt Book for Parents/Carers’
as this suggests a range of questions to ask.
• Ensure that the children are not just reading
but understanding what they have read, make
predictions and make inferences and
deductions.
• Read a variety of stories to them to develop
their vocabulary and variety of text.
Writing
• It is vital that your child speaks in standard
English to ensure that there writing is
grammatically correct and words are not
omitted. Words will also be spelt more
accurately if they are pronounced correctly.
• Through reading your child can develop their
vocabulary and understanding of better
adjectives, verbs and adverbs that they can
then use in their writing.
Spelling
• As your child becomes more familiar with
spelling patterns and rules their spelling
accuracy will improve. This is what weekly
spellings aim to assist.
