Please see the half termly overviews at the bottom this page to see what the children will be learning throughout the school year.
Reading in Reception.
At Vine Tree we aim for all our children to become fluent, confident readers who are passionate about reading.
We can achieve this together through:
- Read Write Inc, a program to help to your child read at school
- Encouraging children to develop a love of books by reading to them daily, at home and at school
- Giving children access to a wide range of books at school and at home
Children who read regularly or are read to regularly have the opportunity to open the doors to so many different worlds! More importantly, reading will give your child the tools to become independent life-long learners.
The children will be learning their phonics through Read, write Inc.
This is a phonics programmed that ensures early success in reading, writing and spelling.

Please help your child read and write their letters with the phonics homework books that I will send home.
It takes a lot of practice to remember how to write all the letters of the alphabet with the correct letter formation.
Below is a parent video to help you say the sounds:
Below is a way for your child to practise their read write inc sounds set 1.
When your child is confident reading all set 1 sounds then they are ready to practise the special friends on the sway below.
NEW WORD GRIDS - Click on each grid and click your way through the pile of cards. Please only work on the grids that your child has in their orange grid book.
Try to read with your child at least 3 times a week. Please find a quiet time to share your child's reading books and record what you have read in your child's homework diary. The phonics blending books and red reading books should be re-read each time you read together . This will build your child's confidence and fluency. Some children will also bring home a printed sheet which is just a little extra practise to help your child begin to read in simple sentences.
Books will continue to be changed on Mondays and please return all three books each week. Grids will also be tested and updated every Monday afternoon.
Bingo books
- I hope your child is enjoying reading the bingo books with an adult. They should have read quite a lot of them by now. Keep reading.
Homework
Letter formation sheets will be sent home weekly.
Homework grids will be sent out with homework books during the first week of term. Please choose 2 of the learning projects to work on with your child/ren. Please feel free to include any independent work and pictures the children produce - we love to see their work!
