I have posted these links before but just wanted to remind you all of ways you can help your child from home.

OxfordOwl -  Oxford Owl is an award-winning free website with 250 FREE tablet-friendly eBooks and activities to help you support children’s learning. Now it is even better, with dedicated areas for school and for home.

teachyourmonstertoread - Teach your Monster to Read is a series of free games to practise the first stages of reading.

Alphablocks - The Alphablocks are 26 living letters who discover that when they hold hands and make a word, it comes to life. Their fun-filled adventures and songs help young children learn to read. Everything in ‘Alphablocks’ is based on best-practice phonics, as taught in schools. Phonics starts with letters and the sounds they make, then builds words by blending the sounds together. New letters, sounds, letter combinations and ideas are introduced in a carefully designed sequence that helps children develop confident reading skills.
