Hello, the weeks seem to be flying by at the moment and home schooling the ‘norm’! I have received some absolutely fantastic writing from pupils over the last 2 months. To keep the momentum going I have uploaded previous suggestions about phonics and spelling and new tips for writing to assist with tasks.

You may find some or all of the suggestions below helpful for your child.

Useful literacy based websites:

For older pupils the PDF below gives suggestions to help with Vocabulary; Sentence Openers; Connecting Words and Punctuation. At school your child may have used the acronym – VCOP!
