Homework - Reading Miss Mundy English Faculty Leader 7

Homework - Reading  All year 7 students are expected to spend 30 minutes each evening doing their reading homework.  In that 30 minutes, students should read for approximately 20- 25 minutes and then write a summary of what they have read.  Each term students are given a book to read. The books have been chosen by the English department as we think they are good quality literature and will improve not only the students’ reading ability but also their knowledge of the world.  If a student finishes the assigned book before the term is up then they read their own book and continue to write the summaries on this book. 8

Homework - Reading The books for Year 7 are 9

Homework - Reading Thursday 12 th October Summary of pages 10-15 In pages 20- 25 we learn about George and Lennie’s dream. George and Lennie dream about getting their own little place and living off the land. Lennie is excited about the idea of getting his own land because he wants to keep and look after animals. Whereas, George is looking forward to having his own land because he wants to be his own boss. 10

Homework - Reading Why we have Reading Homework  All students in Years 7 to 10 have had their Reading Age assessed using an online computer program (STAR test).  The STAR test compares the score of the student with the score of other students in a database to come up with a Reading Age. (The database is made up of 816,000 student responses so is considered to be a valid measure)  According to the results, 63% of students in Year 7 currently have a Reading Age that is more than six months lower than their chronological age.  At Nova, we want all students’ Reading Ages to be at least equal to their chronological age. 11

Homework - Reading Why we have Reading Homework  We believe that it is vital for students to be competent readers so that they can meet the demands of the curriculum in many of their different subjects.  We also believe that being well-read allows students to thrive in a literate society and enriches their lives. 12

Homework - Reading Why we have Reading Homework  A vast array of research has been carried out into the impact of reading.  Below are just three key findings in relation to the impact of reading on: academic progress, health and well-being, and the economy: 1. There is a difference in reading performance equivalent to just over a year’s schooling between young people who never read for enjoyment and those who read for up to 30 minutes per day. 2. Reading for pleasure has been linked to a reduction in the symptoms of depression and to a reduction in the risk of developing dementia in later life. 3. In England and Northern Ireland the median hourly wage of workers with highest levels of literacy is 94% higher than for workers who have the lowest levels of literacy. 13

Homework - Reading Support with the Reading Homework  Mondays and Thursdays from 3-3.30pm in the LRC 14

Homework - Hegarty Why we have Hegarty Maths Homework  Numeracy is an essential life skill  Hegarty Maths has been designed to give students repeated practice of key Mathematical concepts  It is an excellent resource as students get instant feedback  This will help build students confidence, that can then be developed to a higher level in lessons  Hegarty has been designed by a former Maths teacher with years of classroom experience  Show you how to get the best out of Hegarty 16
