DAILY JOURNAL
WRITING
This term
the children will have two mornings a week to practise their writing in their
Journal books. On one of their days they will have the opportunity to share a
story of their choice and on the second day they will be able to use a sentence
starter chosen by the teacher. Please sit with your child to help support their
early writing and share this important literacy experience together.
Points to remember:
·
Let your child think of their
sentence/story and have them say it out loud to you.
·
Encourage them to start writing down any
sounds they hear in the words. Don’t worry if they are not spelling correctly
at this stage. Prompt them with any familiar sight words e.g. the, it, is, to, went, on, I, a,
and etc.
·
Make sure they have remembered a big letter
at the beginning of their sentence, finger spaces and a full stop at the end. Lines are not necessary at this stage, however, there are rulers provided if your child needs them for help with direction.
·
They can draw a picture to illustrate
their story.
Lets keep these mornings happy and stress free. Let the children sound out their words on their own as much as they can and let them refer to alphabet and sight word visual cards when needed. On the free sharing days, let the children choose what they would like to write about in their books.
