Show and Tell- the children may bring something from home to share with rest of the class Little Wandle Book home (this will have been read in school with your children, and you can spend some more time with the book at home). Please use the supporting worksheet at home to practice the work they have done in school. Please return Tuesday/ Wednesday of the following week. LIBRARY In order to encourage your child to become a lifelong reader, it is important that they learn to read for pleasure. The sharing book is a book they have chosen for you to enjoy together. Read it to or with them. Discuss the pictures, enjoy the story, predict what might happen next, use different voices for the characters, explore the facts in a non-fiction book. The main thing is that you have fun! |
