Summer 2                         Wk6  06.07.26

 

As part of our learning, your child has completed a practice SPaG paper. This is simply a useful assessment tool to help identify strengths and any areas that may need further reinforcement. It is not something for children to worry about.

If your child  has a score of 12 marks or below, it would be beneficial for them to revisit the Year 2 English Grammar objectives. These can be found on the inside cover of your child's Home Learning Book and on the recommended website. Regularly reviewing these grammar skills will help ensure your child retains this important knowledge and develops a secure understanding before moving on to the next stage of learning.

Please be reassured that this is intended as a positive and supportive strategy, By strengthening fundamental skills outside the classroom, children often find it easier to engage with new learning and close any gaps in understanding, allowing them to access future learning with greater confidence and success.

Thank you for your continued support.

3 top ways to improve spellings:

1. Practise little and often
   Spend a few minutes each day practising spelling words. Short, regular practice helps words stick in memory much better than long sessions.

2. Use look–cover–write–check
   Look at the word, cover it up, write it from memory, then check if it’s correct. Repeat until it’s accurate.

3. Break words into smaller parts
   Split tricky words into syllables or chunks (e.g. to-geth-er or be-cause). This makes them easier to remember and spell.

 

3 top ways to improve handwriting formation:

• Practise correct letter formation regularly
  Encourage your child to start letters in the right place and follow the correct direction. Repeating this consistently helps build good habits.

• Use guided lines and patterns
  Practising on lined or patterned paper helps children control letter size and spacing, keeping writing neat and even.

• Strengthen fine motor skills
  Activities like colouring, tracing, cutting, or playing with clay improve hand control, which supports better handwriting.
