Making words

Making word families is a clever way to learn how to spell lots of words.

Derek says:  I can write lots of words now and I can spell them properly.

Reading my poem

Here you are reading a poem of your choice. You are learning to pay attention to the author’s punctuation to help your reading sound interesting and change your voice when you see bold print. Reading out loud to people is a fun way to show your family what skilled readers you are becoming.

Derek says:  "I think I did a good job of reading my poem.  I practise my poems at home".

Basic sight words

These are some of the basic sight words you are learning. It is important to look at the first and last sounds of the word to help you read them.

Derek says:  I think I'm really good at reading these words.  I need to practise the sounds that letters make.

Term 1 Reading

We have been learning how to read books in our classroom.  We know that we need to point to the words when we read and we can look at the pictures to help us work out what some words say.  Here is a video of me reading.

W.A.L.T read basic sentences.

Success Criteria:  I can recognise some basic high frequency words.

                                I can point to the words when I read.

                               I can use the picture in the story to help me read words I don't know.
