Room 5 2024

My name is Mrs Williamson and I am the teacher in Room 5. We are a lovely bunch of year 1 & 2 children who love learning about the world around us. 


Better start literacy stories

These stories can be listened to or printed and shared with your children. This links you to the early childhood section which are perfect for children who have only just begun their schooling and beginning to learn some letter sounds. Each book has a focus letter. Discuss other things that start with the same letter and try writing the letter as well.

Better start literacy readers

These are readers for your child to read and decode. Best for children who have some knowledge of their letter sounds. You can either read online or print these out. Have a go at the non narrated story sounding out each part of the word i.e. c-a-t cat. There are helpful teaching notes for more information.
