Useful Information
Common exception words are words that are not to be sounded out. Children are expected to read these words from sight. These words can also be found in the back of the orange reading diary.
Children in Woodpeckers need to be able to read and spell these words by the time they leave year 1. It is a good idea if you practice reading these words most nights as lots of these words come up in the reading books.
Letter Formation
Here is a sheet that demonstrates correct letter formation. Children in year 1 still often struggle with forming their letters correctly. This sheet demonstrates where you should begin each letter and the arrow shows the direction the letter should go. It would benefit your child if you correct any incorrect letter formation and model the correct direction the letter should go. ( i.e o would go anti-clockwise and not clockwise)
