LiteracyHow can you help?• Ask your child to show you their
homework and together consider the following:
• Presentation – is the work neat and showing effort?
• Depth of detail – are all answers fully developed?
• Accuracy – have they checked to see their work is correct?
• Spelling – have they checked the spelling of any uncommon or difficult words they have used?
