Hermitage Primary School

Reading: We expect the children to read at least three times a week for at least ten minutes each time. Please record all reading in your reading diary. An adult should sign the reading diary every time they read with their child. Reading diaries are checked first thing every Monday. 3 reads per week = 1 reading point of their reading certificate, 4 or more reads per week = 2 points on their reading certificate.

Phonics: Every Friday we will send home a weekly overview of the phonics taught in class. Please tick the sheet as your child practises each grapheme, spelling and tricky word and return by the following Friday.

Letter Formation: Children will also bring home letter formation sheets. Please support your child with completing these sheets as correct pencil grip and letter formation is essential for future fluent writing. Please return these sheets by the following Friday.

Many thanks for your support.
