Literacy

         Here are some ideas for literacy activities

Reading

• Go to the seesaw class app where you can find some assigned literacy activities.

• Read your school reading book and have a discussion with mum or dad about what you have read.

• Work on a reading activities work sheet which were given out in your packs. You can stick these completed sheets into your reading activities books.

• Work on your sight words from your reading bag.

Writing

• Write a letter to your grandparent or a family member. Tell them about what you have been doing to keep busy at home.

• Ask mum or dad to write a sentence for you to copy. Copy out the sentence then try writing it again without looking at it. Cut up your sentence into words and mix them up. Put the sentence back together again in the right order.

• Get a tray of items from around the house. Cover the tray and then get someone to take something away whilst you are not looking. See if you can work out what is missing. Now write down the item's name. Can you write a sentence using that word? For example: (three examples depending on Year level)

1. The pen was on the tray.

2. The blue pen was on the tray beside the pinecone. Mum took the pen off.

3. The blue sparkly pen was on the tray and now it's gone away. I think mum has used it to write the grocery list. I really hope she has added lollies on this week's grocery list. I will find out on Thursday when she brings all the bags home and drops them on the kitchen floor.

Speaking

• Read out your letter to your family member.

• Find a favourite book and tell someone what it is about using as much detail as possible.

• Talk about your day with someone in your family or ring your friend or grandparent and talk to them about what you have been doing.

• Video yourself reading a poem and post it on seesaw.

Here are some you tube counting songs that the children might enjoy. These are great for teaching counting and skip counting and are very useful to add some exercise into your daily routine. These will be added to each week.
