Online Reading Books:
​
On this site you will find some of the 'Ready to Read' series
books that we read at school. Browse through the books and
you might recognise some that you have read with a teacher at school!
You can click the button that says 'colour wheel level' and then choose
which colour books you usually read and take home.
There are also some cool poems that you could read with your family and
illustrate - just like we do at school on Fridays! You could choose to highlight
(or circle) the rhyming words or sight words you know before you start drawing.
​
Writing:
​
Take a look at the picture prompts below. Choose your favourite one to write a story about!
Think about these questions before you start writing:
What happened before the photo was taken?
How did they get into this situation?
What is happening in the picture?
Who else might be there?
What might happen next?
​

You could email a photo of your writing in to your teacher, or even type it out!

Basic facts practice:

beat your number of correct answers each day,
or even time
yourself each day and see if you can get faster at
solving the questions!
