Spelling
(please also see the Phonics folder on the previous page)
One page of spellings is to be completed every week using the 'look, cover, write, check' system. As extensions, children can;
1) Write a sentence using each word.
2) Find the definition of the word in a dictionary and write it out.
3) See how many of their spelling words they can use in one paragraph.
KS1 Tricky Words - children should learn these common exception words by the time they leave Year 2.

Reading isn't simply being able to read what's on the page. At Hindon Primary School, we use VIPERS as a method of encouraging children to use their comprehensive skills while reading. This enables children to have a deeper understanding of what they are reading and allows them to connect it to real-life events. Please see the guide below to support comprehension at home.
