re reception class key words

michellenealemum

hello,
my daughter has just started reception and i wondered if anyone had the list of key words for the reception age 4/5.
Also i want to make and laminate the characters from the oxford reading scheme ie biff chip kipper mum dad floppy so i would like some good pictures so any help ideas would be great.
Thank you in advance michelle

You will find these words if you do a google search for either key sight words or Dolsch words.

You teacher will welcome you taking time to support your child with her homework. However, do remember that children are very tired after school at this age and the homework set by the teacher is probably sufficient.

It would perhaps be better for you daughter for you to enrich her language skills by activities like reading lots of stories together, doing practical activities like baking. leaf printing, shopping etc that involve lots of language.
Children's reading will ususally flourish if books, story tapes, language games (see ELC products), leap pads etc are used by parents with their children. The most important thing is that you involve your child and talk to her.

As a teacher, I do not encourage parents to extend formal learning activities too much at this early stage.

at my daughters school they used the oxford reading tree books i loved these!!!!!!

i loved hearing about the magic key (parents will understand!!!)

you can buy them from the book people cheaply here at 9.99 for 12 books that is a real bargain for these books!! they are normally really expensive!!!

My children had those Oxford Reading tree books. Theres also a fortnightly magazine to support this called The Magic Key. I can't remember much about the keywords but I remember dragon was one of them.

hi thanks for that, just thought if the words where around the house it might help her, i do all the above and lots more, she is a bit slow on forming and sounding out the words so i thought if they where around, it might help her and me as sometimes if i dont know what she is talking about i find it hard to understand i am not a pushy parent just a thoughtful and caring one.
Thanks michelle

That's exactly the list that my son came home with on his first day.
He's still on wordless books but should get books with words in any day now.
(I feel a bit sad getting excited about that but hopefully some of it will rub off onto him).
