Homework

Homework at Over St. John's

We would like to ask our families to priorities the reading, letter and sound recognition and the recall of high frequency words. This should be a regular part of your child's learning. We will ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to the abilities of your child.

Hatchmere's Home Task

On Hatchmere's blog each week, Mrs Teece posts a parental involvment task. This usually includes an activity relating to the ongoing class topic. It is normally a practical task that will help the children develop their understanding of their learning.

Reading at Home

All children are expected to read at least four times a week which should be a priority. It is important that a child enjoys their reading book and your child's class teacher will be happy to give advice on appropriate choices. Reading can take any of the following forms:

• Sharing a book together either from school or at home. These books initially may have no words and the children will be encouraged to make up a story based upon the visuals.
• Answer simple questions about stories they have read or have been read to them.
