Year 1 Expectations 

Daily Reading at home: this will be shared reading as well as reading scheme books.

Weekly spellings at home linked to Phonics / High Frequency Words or No-Nonsense Spelling as appropriate.

Regular practise of Number Bots or Times Tables Rockstars, at least 3 times a week.

To support our phonic and reading lessons in school we have an expectation that children read at least five times per week. We ask that children read and reread the same text several times to enable them to develop fluency and better comprehension. When first reading a text, a focus is placed on using phonetic skills to work out words rather than understanding what is written. On a second read, children should find it easier to read or work out unknown words and focus more on understanding what they are reading.
