A rolling, snapped log tripped Isaac over he face-planted on the sloppy mud, and as he swiped off the mud, he looked behind and saw... No cat, no hanging spiders, no sloth laying like snot. Just the FRIENDLY face, the FUNNY face of Dot. ||

Name: Isaac Numbers || Minutes Reading || Picture Book || Chapter Book || __//**Spelling Expectations**//__ This year we are introducing the You Can Spell programme at Sherwood. You child will be pre-tested to ascertain the most appropriate level for them to work at. A list of words will be posted each week on the class webpage (WIKI) for each group. At school your child will be completing activities around the words for that week in a spelling workbook during their reading programme,. The student books will only be ordered once all students have been assessed in Y3-Y6. The post test is on Friday when students will buddy test and mark their word lists. Extension option: Develop your child’s dictionary skills by helping them to look up the word meanings or use a Thesaurus to further extend their vocab. See how many ways they can incorporate words from the week’s list in their daily conversations. We will start by sending home the first essential word list with all students in Y4. Please test your child orally on these words (up to 10 each day based on your child’s progress & concentrations), highlight the words they cannot instantly recall and work on mastering these. Once your child has mastered the entire list, please send the teacher an email to request the next essential word list. You will be informed whenthe You Can Spell programme starts. From then on you can refer to the class webpage for the weekly spelling words. //Will follow up TW// || A.T ||

You are welcome to email any questions or feedback you may have about the programme and your child’s skills. Mathletics. Please focus on the lowest Live Mathletics level first, until your child has achieved Human Calculator. We will then remove the option of this level and they can focus on the next level up. Students are expected to reach and work at level 3 for Y4. All aspects of the programme are opened up over the holidays. Non- Digital Option Please support your child’s continued learning of basic facts. This may be in addition and subtraction or multiplication and division. Refer to the information provided by your child’s teacher in reports and parent interviews to help your child set basic facts learning goals. Note down below what your child’s focus for each week has been e.g. “Practised 2x tables and matching division”, then sign.

comprehension strategies and become a better reader. Set readers will no longer come home as your child transitions to being an independent reader. Lexile Reading In the senior school, once students reach a reading age of 7, they may read ‘Lexile’ books for their independent reading. This online reading scheme helps motivate reluctant readers and inspires high flyers to become “Millionaires”, by challenging them to read one million words. Students are given a password which they record in the back of their homework book. They can choose books from within their Lexile reading level (determined at school by an on-line reading test). When they’ve finished reading their book, they complete an online book quiz, which tests their understanding of the text (comprehension). Students can sit this book quiz at school or at home by logging onto the Lexile website www.mylexile.co.nz. Each time a student passes a quiz they are awarded points for the number of words read. Teachers can access class records to view how many books have been read, the Lexile level of each book and what score was achieved in the quiz. Certificates will be presented at the end of each term, to children who have made pleasing progress. Non-Lexile Reading Alternatively children may choose to read material of their own choice and enter it onto the accompanying reading log. Please find a comfortable spot and time for your child to read to you. The best way to become a better reader is to READ, READ, READ! Students are expected to sit 1 quiz minimum each week for Lexile levels 100-400. For levels 500 plus it can be 1 book minimum a fortnight (40 points by the end of Term 3). For non-Lexile reading, it is expected that children will read for at least 15 minutes each night, completing 2 log sheets minimum by the end of the term. comprehension strategies and become a better reader.
