14. Pre-Primary Homework Home readers
Begins the start of term 2 (approximately week 2/3).
Books will be levelled
Assist your child to read through sounding out, rereading, hinting.
This should be a time of enjoyment not punishment, for you or your child.
Sight Words
We have begun introducing sight words to our morning routine.
We will be introducing 2 new words each week. The children will be involved in learning them in a fun and active way. Each week I will post to the school website the words we will be introducing. You can use these to reinforce this learning at home.

15. Parents As Partners Two Way Partnership You are teachers too!
Things that you can do to help your child’s education:
Attendance : They have to be at school to learn. Less than 90% is considered at Educational Risk
On time : This is critical during our literacy blocks in the morning. The doors will open at 8:35am.
Sight words: 10 minutes each night will go a long way in learning these.
Home Reading :Beginning term 2, this is essential and should happen
daily! Remember to encourage ‘reading for fun!’
See us regarding any issues A.S.A.P
Please ensure contact details up to date.

16. Reading At Home
In order to promote reading to children at home, the Early Childhood team have put together boxes of books which you can borrow to read to your children.
There are questions within the book to assist you in building the comprehension skills of your child.
You may borrow these books each morning simply record when you return a book and sign out a new book.
