Phonics
At Abbott, we use Read Write Inc Phonics to give your child the best possible start with their literacy.
What is Read Write Inc?
Read Write Inc., developed by Ruth Miskin, provides a structured and systematic approach to teaching literacy. It is used by more than a quarter of the UK's primary schools and is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers.
Each Read Write Inc. programme meets the higher expectations of the National Curriculum and uses effective assessment to accelerate every child's progress and prepare them for the National Curriculum Tests.
Who is Read Write Inc for?
At Abbott, we use Read Write Inc. Phonics for our children in Nursery to Year 2 and for those children beyond year 2 who still need support in their reading.
How do children learn to read?
Children learn the English alphabetic code: first they learn one way to read the 40+ sounds and blend these sounds into words, then learn to read the same sounds with alternative graphemes.
They experience success from the very beginning. Lively phonic books are closely matched to their increasing knowledge of phonics and ‘tricky’ words and, as children re-read the stories, their fluency increases. Along with thought-provoking introductions, prompts for thinking out loud and discussion, children are helped to read with a storyteller’s voice.
