Phonics
From EYFS to Year Two, children take part in a phonics programme called Read Write Inc (RWI). Each child is grouped by ability and they take part in a daily RWI session where they practice their reading, writing and spellings.
The children learn 44 sounds along with the corresponding letters/ letter groups (digraphs) using simple picture prompts. They also learn to read words using sound blending (Fred Talk), write the letters/ letter groups which represent the 44 sounds and spell words through the use of segmenting.
During RWI phonics sessions, the children read lively stories containing the words they have learned to sound out, and develop comprehension by answering ‘Find It’ and ‘Prove It’ discussion questions. Our specialised reading scheme works alongside the learning in class with phonetically appropriate reading books.
