Do you ask your daughter about what she has been doing at school? What did she enjoy? What did she learn today?
You can really help your daughter by: - Talking to her about her day and what she has learned - Asking to see her Diary and checking what homework has been set - Helping your daughter to organise her work and checking that deadlines are met - Encouraging your daughter to ask for help from the teacher if it is needed - Signing the Diary every week - Encouraging your daughter to use the library regularly and attend additional classes and activities
You can help by: - Reading together - Listening to your daughter read - Encouraging your daughter to bring home library books - Asking questions about the books she has read - Talking together about news articles
Equipment You can help your daughter learn by making sure she is properly organised for the school day.
Your daughter must have a bag and the following equipment: - pen - pencil - eraser - ruler - coloured pens - sharpener - glue stick - Diary/Planner - PE/Dance kit (on required days)
Learning vocabulary Your daughter will often be asked to learn the meaning and spelling of words.
This is best done by: Repeating the word several times Checking the meaning, using a dictionary Copying out the words at least three times Spelling the words out aloud Being tested by you Using the word within a sentence
