Learning at Home
30-35 minutes Monday to Friday would be plenty.
Don't worry if you can't manage that each day - remember a little is better than nothing.
If your child gets a bit squirmy/ fidgety why not play one of the sight vocabulary games involving movement ( See link below.)

Our Daily 5 (Mon-Thurs...Fri= Spellings test + lots of fun!)
1. Read Every Day
Please read every day to keep up the great progress the children have made.

Click on Login and then select Collins Big Cat.
There are lots of books available at each level to read.
Start with Red or Yellow bands and work on from there.
Turn the volume down on your device and let the children read aloud.
Ask the children questions about the text or to retell the story or facts to check their understanding.
Keep a record of the books they read in their copies and I'll add them to their reading logs when we
get back to school!
2. Spellings
Write the words out four times. Remember: Look, Say, Write, Cover, Write and Check...Repeat
(Scroll down to see spellings for each class group)
3. Sentences
Put each of the spellings into a sentence and/or write the exercises from Spellbound/ Spell Well into
your copy
Go to: cjfallon.ie
4. Play Sight Vocabulary Games
We had been working on the First 100 High Frequency Words (the last two columns are next)
Go to: www.highfrequencywords.org
*If your child can read these words with ease then use the Dolch 220 List
Pick 4 words, the children find difficult, to work on per week along with others they know.
Use the games and ideas suggested on the websites below
Go to: www.sightwords.com and click on Sight Words Games or
Go to: www.education.com/games/sight-words
We usually play Word Snakes and ladders, Kaboom (Boom) and bingo in school but Word Hopscotch
Word Stepping Stones/Pathways or Word Bean Bag Toss might be helpful games to give the children a
little movement break.
5. Children's Choice
Go to: cjallon.ie
Search for My Read At Home Book 1, pick a page that interests your child.
Let your child read the text and ask them the questions. They don't have to write the answers but they
should organise their answers into full sentences.
