PhonicsGuided readingWriting in a range of fiction and non-fiction stylesLiteracy games on the internet and typingWriting in other subjectsRole play
Year 1 - reading
By the end of year 1, your child should:Sound out CVC words e.g. bat, sit, cut.Know around 45 high frequency wordsBe able to talk about a story and say what
might happen next, or think about a character’s feelings.
Be able to retell a story and say what parts of the story they do and don’t like.
Year 1 - writing
By the end of year 1, your child should:Write simple phrases and statementsRemember capital letters and full stops
some of the timeWrite clearly so people can read his/her
writingTry to put all his/ her ideas into writingSpell some common and CVC words
correctly
Year 2 - reading
By the end of year 2, your child should:Have a range of strategies to help with
reading e.g. sounding out, looking at other words in the sentence, using pictures etc
Predict what will happen in a story and be able to talk about the setting, characters and make comparisons to other similar stories
Recognise and be able to explain the difference between fiction and non-fiction books.
Year 2 - writing
By the end of year 2, your child should:Begin sentences in lots of different waysUse more interesting joining words than
‘and’Write stories with a beginning, middle and
endTry to include interesting vocabularySpell frequently used words correctly and
use phonics to help with less familiar words.
How you can help with reading
When you listen to your child read, please encourage them to sound out unfamiliar words or use the pictures and what they’ve just read to help.
Ask them questions to check understanding – use the bookmarks.
Read to them and with them – if they see you reading regularly they will want to do it too!
How you can help with writingAs with reading, please encourage your child
to sound out words. Find what they enjoy writing about and
encourage it – find their passions!Try to encourage the correct pencil grip – this
will help throughout their school life and is very hard to correct when they are older.
Froggy legs pencil grip!
The thumb and forefinger should look like two frogs legs jumping up and down.

Year 2By the end of year 2 your child should:use the knowledge that subtraction is the inverse of
additionuse mental recall of addition and subtraction facts to 10begin to use halves and quarterscount sets of objects reliablyknow 2, 5 and 10 times tablesunderstand angle as a measurement of turnbegin to use everyday non-standard and standard units to

How to help your childEncourage them to recognise numbers,
shapes, data in everyday situations.Make maths fun – shopping, out in the card,
tickets, the cinema (real life contexts)Allow them to make mistakes – it is a
journey: those praised for trying will achieve more than those praised for being clever.
Use the methods taught at SIS.
