Phonics/Reading
- Please read your child's phonics reading book with them each day. Any extra reading you can do with your child at home would be most beneficial. This could include a range of non-fiction and fiction books as well as poems.
- Please practise reading the real and alien word cards your child will come home with.
- Please see a list of Year 1 recommended reads below.
Maths
• Please practise number formation with your child.
• Counting forwards and backwards from any given number. A good resource to select a given number can be accessed here:

- Practise counting in steps of 2, 5 and 10 to 100.
- We have been working on the place value of numbers to 100 . A great game to practise this can be accessed below:

English
• Practise writing simple sentences with your child. This can be as simple as what you are going to be doing that day. You can write a sentence from a picture from your favourite book, or any book that you have at home.
• This term we are focusing on capital letters, finger spaces, full stops in the correct place and reading their own work back to check that it makes sense.
• Please practise letter formation with your child.
