Our phonics scheme: Read, Write, Inc.
Our chosen phonics scheme, Read, Write, Inc. Phonics teaches children the sounds in English, the letters that represent them, and how to form the letters when writing. It includes reading books written using only the letters children have learnt at each level (and a small number of separately taught tricky words). The children will quickly feel confident and successful.
Here you can find lots of free resources to support your child’s learning.
