Thank you so much to all the parents at home doing such fantastic work with your children. I really enjoyed the videos of the wild animals this week and the sentences/words that some are starting to write. I know that it must be tough at times to keep your children engaged and interested at home so I appreciate all of the effort that you are putting in.
You may not want extra work and that is understandable but in case you are looking for some extra things to keep your child engaged and interested at home, then these are for you. I'm just going to link a few educational sites below.
These resources are all free to access and download.

These are some of the readers that we use in school. If you would like to continue reading at home create a new account to access all the readers here. We usually focus on the Pink A and B in junior infants but if you feel your child is able you could move to the next colour.
