Reading (at least 20 minutes) - and I stress please still read to your child as well - they need to hear expression, you stopping at punctuation etc. Talk about what your child is reading. Make it a joyful time for you both - if they have younger siblings, get your child to read to them (and same with older siblings).
Read to their teddies (play schools) =)
Spelling - I only give 5 words per week. These are from their essential list (which they were tested on)..so the words they got wrong are the words that go home. I also give some words which they have spelt incorrectly in their workbooks during the week. The words might appear easy to you - but they are getting them wrong if they are coming home in their home learning book.
Maths - Basic Facts - your child will have examples of what step they are on.
I test every Friday - I like to test the children 1-1. Which means I can hear your child answering and I can see if they know the answers within the 4-5 seconds.
Your child may be tested every 2nd week - time depending.
Some of the home learning worksheets are for 2 weeks (please read my note in their book with sheet).
Being at home with you is a FUN time. That is why I add OPTIONAL activities...I like to see children enjoying what they are doing.
If they have a list of things (OPTIONAL) to do - they may do 1 - or they might do all of the things.
Some children have the time to do all the things and some children want to do all the things.
Any extra help your child gets helps overall.
Here is an interesting article about doing chores at home =)
