Helping at home | |
Please continue to practice your sounds at home with your child and share stories. Please use the videos sent home to practice’ speedy sounds’ and’ Fred talk’. Please write in your child’s reading book at least 5 times per week so we can all enjoy the park trip together. Please encourage your child to recognise small quantities quickly (1,2,3,4). Count as you go up the stairs or in the car. Get your children to collect things for you eg Can you get me 4 forks please. Sing number rhymes and encourage your child to play ‘Fast Fingers’. Show me 2, 3, 5 fingers speedily. Have fun! Mrs Gascoyne, Mrs Shreeve, Mrs Stone and Mrs Grant. | |
