How is Read Write Inc. Phonics Eligible for phonics structured? match-funding
Assessment
Children are assessed and grouped according to their phonic knowledge. Each child is then taught at the level of their phonic knowledge to ensure quick progress.

118

Read Write Inc. YR2/P13 Phonics

First Phonics

The 44 sounds and corresponding letters are introduced and taught systematically.

First Words

Children learn to blend using sound cards. Then they use short ditties to practise early reading and writing before being taught more letter/s sounds correspondences.

Developing Reading and Writing

Children read a series of levelled decodable texts, both ction and non-ction and do integrated writing activities, including handwriting practice.

Levelled Progression

Ongoing assessment means that groups are constantly adjusted to ensure every child makes the quickest possible progress.

Why Read Write Inc. Phonics works

A systematic approach a key element of the Read Write Inc. approach is that practice across the school is completely consistent. This is achieved because the Head teacher, all the teachers and teaching assistants from the Foundation Stage to Year 6, are trained to teach reading.
The rst, most overt feature of headship in these schools is the determination that children will learn to read. Teaching reading is the avowed core purpose of the schools. HMI Ofsted report Reading by Six 2010

Effective assessment and groupings all the children are grouped across the school in terms of reading ability. This means that they are reading at their level, every day. The more homogenous the grouping, the more focused the teaching can be so that children make faster progress. Inspiring training all Ruth Miskins trainers are classroom teachers they have a deep understanding of how to teach reading, and can help you by modelling lessons with your children. Parental engagement all schools using Read Write Inc. Phonics involve parents from the start, explaining to them the approach and getting their support. In addition, the black and white versions of the storybooks are perfect for take-home to ensure the child can practise the same book at home.

YR6/P17 Literacy

Transformational pedagogy high-quality teaching is an essential part of the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme so that children learn to read and write as quickly and effectively as possible. Participation, praise, pace, purpose and passion are at the heart of every Read Write Inc. lesson, making every lesson count and every lesson fun.

Read Write Inc. One-to-one Phonics Tutoring Kit

Review by John Dabell, Teach Primary, July 2011 The Read Write Inc. One-to-one Phonics Tutoring Kit from Oxford University Press is a box of phonics goodies that you can literally pick up and teach with children. It contains everything you need for high quality, one-to-one reading tuition. Inside you will find a professional development DVD and handbook with demonstrations and words of wisdom from the highly esteemed phonics missionary Ruth Miskin arguably the UKs leading authority on teaching children to read. It includes video clips on teaching pure sounds, sound-blending, high-frequency words, tricky words, comprehension and fluency. There are also plenty of detailed teaching notes that give you the confidence to walk the tal. The Read Write Inc. One-to-one Phonics Tutoring Kit can be used comfortably by individual special needs assistants, especially after viewing the step-by-step guidance on the DVD, and would also be useful for more senior staff. Its a kit for everyone to dive into as it is everyones responsibility to get every child reading. Verdict This resource is first-class for me and I would have no hesitation in committing to it, safe in the knowledge its contents would enable me to deliver the best teaching children deserve. Children using these materials will learn to read very quickly because of the structured and rigorous approach to teaching phonics. Its not hard to work out that children who read are more successful than those that dont. As Ruth Miskin herself says, Reading is not just the foundation but the whole building itself.
