Spelling City - High Frequency Words

Dear parents,

Please see the spelling tests I have created in the Spelling City interactive resource.

These tests are based on the High Frequency Words which your child needs to know by the end of Key Stage 1.

Tests in Phases 1 to 5 involve the top 100 High Frequency Words.
Phase 6 tests involve the next 200 High Frequency Words.

I would be grateful if you could try this out and if your child enjoys it, why not use it on a regular basis to reinforce learning.

ROYAL ZEBRA READING GAMES
Take a look at the Royal Zebra Reading games. The full stop games are particularly useful for helping children figure out how to break up a paragraph with full stops.

Educational Resources

Well done to those children who have been learning using Tutpup this week:
BrownBear589, BrownBear594, BrownBear612, BrownBear638 and BrownBear643.

Please check out the 'Educational Resources' links added to the blog.
- Hundreds, tens and units: This is an excellent yet simple resource which helps pupils understand the relationship between hundreds, tens and units.
- Maths Learning Clips: I added this last week. It is primarily aimed at Years 3 to 5 but it is worth checking out, especially if you have a child further up the school. You will need to register as a user but it is a straightforward process and well worth doing.
- iBoard: Lots of activities which you can use with your child.

I would be grateful for any feedback with regard to what you think about these sites.
