Every Friday the children in Year 1 will be given maths and spelling homework. This homework must be completed by the following Wednesday.
Reading
We would encourage children in year 1 to read every day and suggest reading a minimum of 4 times during the week. Children are encouraged to change their reading book as frequently as they like. Please return them in book bags and record any reading in your child's yellow reading diary.
Year 1 Reading Information Meeting for Parents
At St George's we promote a love of reading. We want all of our children to be successfull readers and to enjoy reading as much as we do. We had a short meeting for parents to talk about how we teach reading in school and what parents can do at home to support their children. Please click here to see the powerpoint slides. We have also attached the year 1 word lists to the bottom of this page.
Additional Information
- If you would like your child to practice their phonics sounds we recommend www.phonicsplay.co.uk which is packed with free games.
If there is anything else YOU feel would be useful to have on the website please ask your class teacher.

- If you feel you want more resources at home to support the teaching of phonics, the RWI sound cards are available on amazon. Speak to your class teacher if you are unsure whether set 1, 2 or 3 is appropriate for your child.

- If you would like more guided reading books to complete with your child at home please visit https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and create a free account. The books are banded and have questions at the end to aid comprehension.
