Letters in book bag - when do you find time to do this?

[wasabipeanut]

Ok so DS in reception sent home today with 6 letters and a list of high frequency words to learn. I have no idea of what the expectation is here. Will they expect him to know them by Monday? When is the best time to do reading practice with a rather tired DS who tends to be tired and silly after school? I can try & encourage him to find the words during bed time stories but will that be enough?

I want to support his learning but I'm feeling a bit flappy as I also have a 2.8 yer old DD & a 3 month olds DS2. Time is kind of at a premium. There was no accompanying letter so I feel a bit adrift.

I look through letters as soon as we get home, so I don't forget. I fill in forms ten or later that evening.

Sounds like its just an ongoing thing that he can look at, if they wanted him to know them all by Monday it would have said so.
