Homework and reading are essential tools in a child’s academic growth, helping to reinforce classroom learning, build discipline, and develop critical thinking skills.
At St Bega’s we ask that children read at home at least 3 times a week to an adult. By listening to your child read you will be aware of their reading level and can offer support and encouragement. Discussing the text with your child allows them to understand the story and explain plot, characters and settings with you.
We may also ask that your child practises their times tables via Times Tables Rock Stars or through games with parents and carers.
Children will also be sent home some spellings to practice. Some activities to support with spelling practice are attached below.
Parental support—through encouragement, setting routines, and showing interest—builds a child’s confidence, motivation, and resilience. When families are engaged, learning becomes a shared journey, setting the foundation for lifelong success.
