Phonics and early reading

Read, Write, Inc. is an inclusive literacy programme for all children and develops a range of skills enabling all learners to achieve their full potential.

All lessons are lively, exciting and fully engaging, reinforcing our creative approach to teaching. Learning is structured with purpose, pace and passion allowing pupils to progress through the units at an accelerated rate. The stimulating resources are carefully chosen to develop the essential skills of reading, writing, thinking, speaking and listening.

Our highly trained staff members deliver first class, high quality daily phonics sessions.  Our children are taught in small groups by our 7 phonics experts. 

Having so many 'staff experts' enables us to teach and tailor each group to the level and sound set that they are working at. Our groups are very flexible and this enables children to make rapid progress in their early reading.

Children from Reception, Years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 currently access our daily sessions.

This approach ensures that we are enabling children to not only reach the Reading by 6 Standard, but that we are also equipping our parents and families with the skills needed to support successful reading and writing at home.

At the end of each half term the children will be assessed again to check they have made progress.  In addition to the Read Write Inc programme the children will also be working on reading, writing  and oracy skills in their classes with their own class teacher.

Since the introduction of the Read, Write, Inc. programme in September 2018, we firmly believe it is has contributed to raising our Literacy standards
