Literacy
The school affords the National Literacy Strategy high priority. All children are taught literacy for one hour each day with the tasks and activities differentiated to cater for the age and ability of the child. The emphasis is on teaching children skills in reading and writing which they can apply across the curriculum. The children will bring home a variety of texts to enable them to practise the skills taught in school.You can help your child by:
* encouraging them to write for a variety of purposes - eg, letters, diaries, notes, lists etc
* helping with letter formation so that a clear cursive style of handwriting is made easier.
* sharing a wide range of books, fiction and non-fiction, to help to foster a love of books
* enabling your child to talk about a wide range of interests
* playing games which help to develop listening and concentration skills Back to top
