Home Learning and Reading
Home Learning - Children will have a phonics folder to take home each night, with the new sound covered that day. Please support your child in reviewing the daily sound and reviewing the words with them. 5 minutes each day will be plenty.
Reading - Please read with your child every day and record this on DOJO. Books are changed each day, so please ensure your child comes to school with their reading book every day.
Important Phonics Information
It is important that your child is practising their phonics and reading regularly so that they are prepared for this.
At Our Lady of Lourdes, we follow Ruth Miskin's 'Read, Write Inc.' phonics scheme. Please use the resources below to help you understand phonics and to help your children with their phonics and reading.
