Here is this week’s homework tasks:
Spelling (all groups) - Words using the ‘or’ sound spelt with an ‘a’ before ‘l’ or ‘ll’ (remember, sometimes this can make the ‘l’ silent, like in ‘walk’)
Spelling - Dots and dashes 'or’ spelt with an ‘a’ - Put dots under each sound made of 1 letter and put dashes _ under each sound made of more than one letter. Afterwards, count the total number of sounds (dots and dashes) and write it next to each word.
Spelling - Word changers - Look at ‘or’ (‘a’) words which have suffixes (-ed, -s, -er, -ing, -est) on them and write the root word (word without the suffix) in the box next to it.
Reading - Phonics Screening Test Practice - Year 2 will be completing last year’s missed phonics screening check this half term (date to be confirmed but it will be some time in late November or December). Please practice reading the real and alien words by sounding out each sound. If there are any sounds your child struggles with, please practice these from your phonics pack sent home before half term. Encourage your child to draw the dots and dashes underneath each sound to help them to sound out trickier words.
