Term 3 Week 8


Monday

Thank you for the daily home reading and practising of sight words. It consolidates what we do in class and greatly aids development of those very important literacy skills.


If you have any concerns come and chat at any time.


The Spelling words given are determined by the results of a pretest given each Monday. To help your child learn these words, we suggest you use the “Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write, Check” spelling method.This is a method the students have used previously at school during literacy lessons and is the method suggested in the student’s spelling textbook. Spelling words will be tested each Friday.



Look – Look at the word





Say – Say the word out loud





Trace – Trace the word with your finger





Cover – Cover the word so that you cannot see it
Write – Write the word trying to remember what it looked like and how it sounded





Check – Check to see if it is correct. Write the word correctly if you made any mistakes.






If you have any questions regarding spelling homework please don’t hesitate to contact me.
 
Dr. Cameron Stelzer, author of the very popular Stroogle books is visiting for the whole day today. The whole day will be spent with him. The children will be immersed in exciting Literacy activities the whole day in Siena. 
New homework for this week will be uploaded onto our class blog but homework books will be sent home on Tuesday after our spelling pretest.
