Supporting Learning at Home
We recently purchased a subscription for Spelling Shed. From Year One at the moment, all children will have a log in sent home to help them learn their spellings by playing online games. The app is £2.99 but the game can be played on a web browser. We also subscribe to Mathletics which can be used at home. (Please see Mrs Hall if you have forgotten your log-ins)
Here is a list of some phonics websites/apps to support your child at home:
