I just would like to tell you that one of our improvement priorities this year is writing. We need to focus on punctuation, grammar and spelling so you will probably find that homework is based on spelling and writing more this year. We will also be sharing information about how you can support your children with their writing.
Please continue listening to your children read as this too will have a huge impact on your child’s ability to write.
For a starter – below are the high frequency words.
Why are high frequency words important?
High frequency words are, as you’d expect, words that you come across frequently. This means that when children are reading, they’ll see lots of these high frequency words. Therefore, it’s important that children are able to read these words, pronounce them correctly, spell them, and understand what they mean within a sentence. Just as importantly, children will be using these words in their own writing, so it’s an essential part of their literacy development.
You can help school by pointing these words out to children in your daily lives, asking them to spell and write them and to use them in sentences.
