Reading
Please read with your child for five to ten minutes fives times a week. Use the reading VIPERS below to support questioning. Questioning when reading with your child is fundamental at this stage in their reading development to help them develop their comprehension skills as your children become more able to read fluently.
We will be reading with your child every week. We will be having small group guided reading sessions for those following Little Wandle and 1:1 for those on the stage books.
During the guided reading sessions, we will also be focusing on the VIPERS skills.
Our school has chosen Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised as our new systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme to teach early reading and spelling.

Year 2 HFWs and common exception words
Below are the common exception words and high frequency words for KS1.
Common exception words = words that cannot be decoded using phonics.
High frequency words = words that are frequently used in books (some are decodable, some are not).
We will set maths homework on Times Tables Rock Stars and may send home some additional work if we feel that it is required.
When counting or practising times tables with your children at home, please remember to count forwards AND backwards. This is vital to their knowledge and understanding of number patterns.
Below are maths mats that show some of the objectives your child will be learning in school. You might find them useful when working with your child at home.
