Reading

New book levels and targets have been written in the front of reading records.

Keep reading regularly and discuss texts at home, using these helpful questions.  Choose a few from each page (or focus on one) to discuss every time you read.

Are you looking for inspiration to try a new book or author?

Take a look at our Bookmatch list.  Here you will find books linked to famous authors you may already like.  Let us know if you find anything you enjoy!

Spellings

Here is a 'Spelling Menu' of activities to choose from when practising your spellings.  Choose 1 or 2 different activities a week to support memorising spelling patterns.

These are common exception words all children should be able to read and spell by the end of year 4.
