• Read the book on your own
• Listen to the book being read out loud (Press Play)
• Click on the green circle for any unknown words
• Click on the red circle to answer some questions based on the story & recognising key words

There are lots of reading activities that can be done at home and only take a few minutes.

• Rhyme words as much as possible
• Play phonemic awareness games. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear sounds, pull the sounds apart and put them back together. It’s basically everything you can do with words with your eyes closed.
• Some ideas are, saying a word and having your child tell you the first, middle, or ending sound. You can say the word and ask them to say all the sounds. Say the sounds and have your child tell you the word. The idea is to get your child to begin to hear that words have separate sounds. This is the first step in being able to sound out words in text.
• Practice the alphabet song, the sooner your child knows the names of the letters, the sooner your child will be able to put the letter to the name.
• Sight word/letter ‘Noughts n My pile, your pile (the children will be familiar with this game!)
• Bingo
• 5 minutes to write as many words as you can think of!
• Word searches http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/WordSearchSetupForm.asp
• If you've any questions or want me to see your work, please email me at norma.hanrahan@warrenmountprimary.com

Have a lovely week,

Ms Hanrahan
