Whiteley Year 2 2023 - 24

We hope you have an enjoyable long weekend. We are still posting some activities on the blog this week, despite the INSET days, if would like to complete them! Here are your home learning activities for this week...   Reading   As always, please read every day. This might be your reading book from school or a book from home. Don't forget, you can also log on to bug club phonics.   https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk/login?c=0   At Whiteley, we recommend that you read a book with your child three times to ensure they are really confident with it.  1.   The  1st read  should focus on  decoding — sounding out words and practising blending the sounds. Use the information on the inside cover to practice any tricky words or particular sounds used in the book before encouraging your child to read, using their phonic knowledge to sound out words they aren’t able to read by sight. 2.   The  2nd read  should focus on increasing  fluency , giving your child the chance to read a familiar text
