Reading and Spelling

We use Read Write Inc to support the teaching of spelling and reading.

Keep using those speed sound charts to improve !

Some words we read are 'tricky' or 'red' words.

These are the words we need to learn by sight.

How many do you already know ?

Making sure we are ready to learn is very important to help us be the best that we can be !

Being in school on time, ready to learn, every day is our aim in Dosbarth Melyn.
