READING – Year 2
Read Theory is free to use and offers levelled reading comprehension tasks. It is free to sign up and your child will then be asked to complete a pre-test to find the correct level for your child – please allow them to complete this by themselves so the texts selected will be appropriate for your child’s understanding. We would recommend completing at least 3 a week.

Doodlemaths
Doodlemaths is an online website that allows your child to practise maths skills they have learnt in school and improve their recall of number facts. Your child has been given a password and username so that they can access the site. Please encourage your children to use the site and earn certificates for doing so. If your child has forgotten their password, please speak to the class teacher.
Common Exception Words
The expectation for the attainment of children in Year 1 has grown massively. In writing, children are expected to spell high frequency words, or common exception words (words we can't use our sounds to spell) correctly. Below is a list of all the words they should be spelling correctly in their independent writing.
