Today's Lesson
Spelling
Review spelling words to prepare for your test at the end of the week. Try the Printables and Cursive Word List at the bottom of page on Spelling Frame.
Main Activity
Over the next three lessons (including the first lesson of next week), the focus will again be on reading: enjoyment of reading; response to texts; independence in reading.
It is important that we always encourage a love for reading, and we can do this in a variety of ways.
Revisit the topic of reading with your student. Ask: What are you reading at the moment? Tell me about a book you have read recently. Who were the characters? What was the setting? What happened (plot)?
Access the Book Activities resource and look at the activities. Discuss these with your student and decide which ones they would like to do. Choose some that they will need some help and guidance to do, and some that they can do independently. Plan that, over the next three lessons, they do an independent activity, and an activity which is supported by yourself.
