We are currently using the Read Write inc programme which includes systematic synthetic phonics as our main phonics and reading scheme from Nursery (in the summer term) to Year 2. There is also targeted phonics support for those children in Year 3 and 4 who are not at age related expectations. We use the RWI Fresh Start programme to support those children in Year 5 and 6 who require extra intervention.
The four Read Write Inc. programmes are carefully matched to the new curriculum. They show teachers, teaching assistants and parents step-by-step how to teach all children to become fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers.
Visit the website for more information on the Read Write inc programme – you will find it under the class pages section.

In Key stage 1, children take home a phonically decodable book they have been reading in class as well as two books linked to the sounds they have been looking at in phonics. They are also able to take home a story to share at home from the school library.
