Junior Infant Homework: 16th - 20th April
The homework for this week is as follows.
1. Reading book. Each child is now getting a new book every 2 days (2 per week). Try to sound out each word in the books. They may need help with some of the words that cannot be blended phonetically. It is important that these books are in their folders during the day as they will be read during stations in school as well as at home.
2. Tricky words
Monday - me
Tuesday - we
Wednesday - be
Thursday - was
Please also revise I, the, he and she from last week.
Reminder that the tricky words are words that don't follow the normal rules. They trick us because they cannot always be sounded out or written correctly by listening for the sounds in them. We have to simply look at them and learn them. A list of the first ten words have been sent home in the children's folders today. We learn 1 tricky word per day.
3. Sounds
It is important to continue to revise the sounds on a daily basis with your children until they know them well. The digraphs can be particularly difficult for them (e.g. oi, ue, er, ar, sh, ch etc) so might need some extra practice.
If you have any questions at all please let us know.
Thanks,
Susan & Peter
