Homework at Marner is all about daily reading!

Reading for pleasure is a key indicator of a child’s future success. When children learn to read at an early age, they have greater general knowledge and a wider range of vocabulary, their reading is more fluent, and they have improved attention spans.

Achieving good standards in reading is key to unlocking the rest of the curriculum and is an indicator of future success in further education, higher education, and employment.

The children will also be given weekly spelling, number facts and arithmetic practice - the more the children practice, the more confident they become as learners.
