Home Learning

Regular, small amounts of home learning play a vital role in mastery of key learning for students.

At Maihiihi, we prioritise developing fluent readers and strengthening quick recall of basic facts. Just a few minutes each day of reading practice helps build known vocabulary, confidence, comprehension, and a lifelong love of learning. Similarly, consistent reinforcement of basic facts, such as number knowledge, supports automatic recall, reducing cognitive load and making problem-solving easier.

When home learning is manageable and engaging, it reinforces classroom learning, fosters positive learning habits, and sets students up for long-term success.

We appreciate whānau support with home learning, and always welcome conversations with classroom teachers if and when this is challenging.
