How can parents help?
• First and foremost, support and reassure your child that there is nothing to worry about and they should always just do their best.
• Ensure your child has the best possible attendance at school.
• Support your child with any homework or revision tasks.
• Let us know if extra help is needed.
How can parents help with reading?
• Listening to your child read can take many forms.
• Read a little at a time but often.
• Talk about the story before, during and afterwards –discuss the plot, the
characters, their feelings and actions, how it makes you feel, predict what will
happen and encourage your child to have their own opinions.
• Look up definitions of words together –you could use a dictionary, the Internet or an app on a phone or tablet.
• All reading is valuable –it doesn’t have to be just stories. Reading can involve anything: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, newspapers, magazines, football
programmes and TV guides.
How can parents help with writing?
• Complete the writing homework each week, especially notes for the
independent writing.
• Practise and learn the Year 3/4 and 5/6 spelling lists –make it fun!
• Encourage opportunities for writing such as letters to family or friends,
shopping lists, notes or reminders, stories and poems.
• Encourage use of a dictionary to check spelling and a thesaurus to find
synonyms and expand vocabulary.
• Remember that good readers become good writers! Identify good writing
features when reading (e.g. vocabulary, sentence structure and
punctuation).
How can parents help with maths?
• Play times tables games.
• Play mental maths games including counting in different amounts, forwards
and backwards.
• Encourage opportunities for telling the time.
• Encourage opportunities for counting coins and money; finding amounts or
calculating change when shopping.
• Identify, weigh or measure quantities and amounts in the kitchen or in recipes.
• Play games involving numbers or logic, such as dominoes, card games, darts, draughts and chess.
