Homework Overview
Dear Parents,
An outline of our homework is provided below.
Home Reading
ü
Daily reading to an adult at home.
ü
A
home reader will be sent home each night.
Children must return their previous home reader and parents are to
initial the Home Reading Record before new books are received.
ü
Talk
about pictures, plot, characters, setting and patterns in the story.
ü
It
is important to remember that the Home Reading program is the top priority in
homework.
Sight Words
ü
Your
child will be given a Sight Word Booklet which is made up of different coloured
lists that make up the 200 most commonly used and read words. They must
be recognised and said as soon as they are seen. All words in the list must be said in order
to move on to the next coloured list.
ü
Your child will be tested at school on
a regular basis. When a list is
completed, they will move on to the next list.
They will receive a stamp in their booklet to let you know that your
child has successfully completed a list and is ready to start practicing the
next coloured list. Please make a habit
of storing the booklet in your child’s Home Folder so that it is returned to
school each day.
ü
Once children have had the opportunity
to study new sight words, games are a fun, hands on way to help strengthen
their retention.
Spelling Words
ü Students will begin learning spelling words as part of weekly
homework tasks.
ü On each list are highlighted words. These are your child’s focus words for the
week. Each set of focus words will
contain words that correspond with the week’s letter/sound focus and/or some
extension words. These are the words we
will also be focusing on in class.
ü Strategies to help your child learn spelling words are
available on the class blogs.
ü Spelling Tests will occur every Friday.
Homework Tasks
ü
Homework
is uploaded to our blog every Monday.
This will consist of four activities to be completed over the week and
returned for marking on Friday.
ü
These
tasks are to be completed independently, but with parent supervision. The tasks are linked to what we are learning
in class.
ü
The
homework task sheet does not need to be printed. Each task can be completed directly into the
homework book. Please help you child to
divide a page in the homework book into four sections, label with homework day
and complete.
