| Ways to help your child |
During the parent-teacher consultations, parents often asked how they can help their child at home. Below are the resources that were discussed with the year 2 staff that you might like to work on over the next few weeks. Please select the resources which are suited to your child if you would like to complete any additional learning. Note that this is optional and these resources have been provided to support parents.
2) Common exception words
This is the list of words your child should be able to read and spell by the end of Year 2. Below is a game to help them spell them - pick either Year 1 or Year 2. Also there is a printable list of the words you can practise with your child.
3) Letter formation
A lot of children in Year 2 have some strange ways of forming their letters. We have been doing a lot of work on getting the correct formation. Below are some printable resources you can use. Twinkl also have a guide to using the resources here on YouTube.
4) Writing sentences
Use these prompts to write sentences. Encourage your child to write either one or two grammatically correct sentences, including a capital letter and a full stop. They should read each sentence back to make sure it makes sense. It is better to focus on writing a little and often.
5) Number formation
Getting numbers around the correct way is really important. If your child is still reversing numbers such as 5, you can use the sheets below to practise numbers. You can also use this YouTube video from former Greswold teacher Mrs Johnson for ways to help get the numbers around the correct way.
6) Counting
Counting back and forwards in 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s is a useful skill. Your child can use the 100 square below to practise their counting.
7) Number facts
We have previously set these number facts as homework. Knowing them off by heart is very useful, so you could continue to practise these with your child.
