Water Bottles
Every child has their own water bottle labelled with their picture.
The bottles are refilled daily and children can help themselves throughout the day.
Read Write Inc
At school we have adopted a new phonic scheme called Read Write Inc. This scheme is designed to teach children the sounds in English, the letters that represent them, and how to form the letters when writing. The scheme is already proving successful, with lots of newly found reading skills within our learners. The children are grouped by ability, so the children in Laugharne this year may not necessarily be with me. If there is any concerns or questions, I can pass this onto the child's phonics teacher.
Read Write Inc
Reading Books
You child will be given a reading bag with the following inside:
1. Sound book(Yellow)
2. Reading book
3. Reading Record book (please write a comment in this book after you have read with your child - this could be a comment about; something your child enjoyed, something that they found difficult, something that they did really well at).
In the early stages of reading your child will receive a discussion book, this will be a picture book without any words - please encourage your child to discuss the pictures and to make up their own story.
At first your child might find this difficult, you could start by asking them questions about what they can see in the pictures or ask them to explain what is happening.
Then you could make up your own story and tell it to your child.
The following day, encourage your child to make up their own story, using the pictures to help them.
Please bring their reading bag into school every Wednesday to allow time to read and to change their books by Friday.
