Using Mnemonics

Using mnemonics can help SOME children to learn ‘tricky’ words in a fun and memorable way.

They use the letters of the word to create a little rhyme or memorable phrase.

Feel free to try some of these with your son or daughter

Developing Your Child's Comprehension Skills

Please find below some useful questions which can be used to help develop your child’s comprehension skills.  Please ensure that you are attempting to ask a range of questions especially those which aim to develop thinking skills, where your child has to think on a deeper level rather than merely finding the answer ‘right there’ in the text.  If you would like a printed version of these please speak to your child’s teacher.
