Literacy

__Spelling Rocket __ Each child in Ngaio has their name on an astronaut who is travelling through space. Everytime your child masters the spelling words on each level they move up to the next level on the Spelling Rocket. Spelling rocket (level 1-12), flying through the planets (Level 13-29), then to the sun ( level 30) and then they arrive in the Word Galaxy. This system is based on the essential words lists and covers lists 1-3. Next time your in class ask your child to show you where it is in the classroom or ask your child what level they are on.  __Reading __ Keep up the great reading Ngaio! Remember your child is to read to you every night. Help them if they get stuck and give lots of praise ! The time you spend listening to your child read is another opportunity for them to practices their reading. A bit like learning to driving a car children need reading mileage.
