    Handwriting and Spelling 

    Please encourage your child to use cursive handwriting, starting each letter on the line unless it's a capital letter or number. 

    Children in Owl Class are tested weekly on spellings taken from our Little Wandle Spelling Programme. 

    Practising spelling at home should be little and often. Fun ways to practise spelling!

    Reading

    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.
