Our reading programme is up and running. I hope that you are able to find 15 minutes a day to complete the tasks: sight words, sounds and reader….and sign the diary.
Did you know….When reading your child is encouraged to use these strategies.
- Be an eagle eye and look at the pictures, they will help them figure out the words.
- Get their lips ready to make the first sound.
- Finger point, hold the book and turn pages for themselves.
Sight words.
- Read within 3 seconds.
- Transfer these words to the book.
Sounds.
- Continue to say sound and trace using their writing hand.
Would you like to support our reading programme?
If you have time any day between 8.45am and 9.15 am please let me know via email.
Thanks for the reminder Veronica.
Although 15 mins doesn’t sound like much, it can be really hard to find it when Sophie isn’t absolutely exhausted or I’m rushing off to work – and it doesn’t help that we only gets home from OSHC, work, activities etc at 5.30pm four days a week.
Hopefully the end of daylight savings makes things easier, but I’m not sure it will!
Yes, sometimes 15 minutes a day can be hard to find when you’re juggling work and family commitments. I appreciate the effort.
