Homework

Term 3 Week 6



Homework is handed out each Monday and is to be returned the following Monday.  This allows busy families to have a weekend plus week days to complete the designated homework.  The students are tested on the homework spelling words every Monday, so please provide your child with multiple opportunities to practise the spelling words at home.

Sight Word practice each week is important.  A list of all 200 words will be included in the students Home Reader folders.  There is also a list and some ideas of fun ways to learn them on the Year 2 Resources page of this blog.

Home Readers are sent home each day and students are expected to sit with an adult and read the book aloud.  The book should come back to school the next day to be changed over.  Reading everyday aloud is greatly beneficial to improving reading skills. 

It is very important that children read every night in order to develop their reading and comprehension skills which underline their ability to process information across every subject area.  A list of ideas for parents that will help check your child's comprehension of the book they have read has been included in their reading folder as well as a list of the 200 Sight Words the students are required to know by the end of the year.  Please return the reading folder EVERY DAY regardless of whether or not your child has finished reading the book, as we use the reading folder to send home notes rather than have hem getting lost in school bags.
