There is an opportunity for the children's reading books to be changed daily in order to encourage their enjoyment of reading. Moreover the more books children read the more they will improve their reading skills!!! As soon as they have finished their reading book their reading record should be signed by whoever listened to them read and brought back into school. As your child becomes a more independent reader it might be suitable for them to read the reading book by themselves. If so you could ask some questions to ensure they understood the text or they could tell you what happened in the book. In these cases you still need to sign the reading record please. All books should be changed at least once a week.

Homework Timetable Y4
The total time recommended for children of Y4 age to spend on homework in a week is 1.5hrs. Each task should only take about 20mins so please do not spend any longer on the task than this allotted time. However if your child is absorbed in the task and loving it, use your discretion to let them continue.
The Literacy and Numeracy tasks will be based on work the children are covering in class. Reading will be the Home/School reading book provided by school. Please sign the Reading Record when you have heard your child read. During Year 4 children often become very confident readers and it may be more beneficial for your child to read independently, in this situation you are signing the reading record to confirm your child has read the book. Research homework is not expected to be pages and pages printed from the internet. If you do find a vital page you could print it out and your child could highlight the key words or phrases. Importantly please do not spend hours encouraging your child to write pages from the internet in their own words. The teachers will be more than happy to hear one or two key facts that your child can share with the rest of the class. |
