London Borough of Newham narrows
Maryland Primary School started using Read Write Inc. in January 2003. We struggled with raising reading standards even with every available intervention – there were still non- readers by the end of Year 2 and alarmingly, into the junior years as well.

“Our Phonics Screening Check result has risen from 67% to 88% in one year.”
The Northern Territory Project, Australia
Hayley Goldsworthy, our trainer, was so passionate about phonics and the differ- ence that it can make to children’s lives. The training was comprehensive and we re- ally appreciated the hands-on activities that gave us instant opportunities for practice.

“Every morning between 9am and 10am the whole school teaches either Phonics, Fresh Start or Literacy and Language.”
The biggest impact we have seen is with our non-verbal
“We are a big school and our children have very diverse needs, ranging from SLD to MLD. We knew we needed a programme that was consistent but that could also be tailored to each child. Our children make leaps and bounds in communication – Read Write Inc. has a large part to play in this.”
The children have progressed in leaps and bounds
Ruth Miskin Training is delighted to be involved in the Department for Education’s Teaching and Leadership Innovation Fund (TLIF) in 2017-2020, providing fully-funded early reading and leadership CPD to 108 primary schools.
Read Write Inc. teaches children not only to read but to love reading
“We have been using Read Write Inc. for five years and haven’t looked back. We initially used a different phonics programme and it simply didn’t have the consistency or rigour we needed. At first, we didn’t embed it fully in our school, and though we saw some progress, it was nowhere near the progress we saw with full commitment.”
Ardler Primary becomes first Scottish Read Write Inc. Model School
“Read Write Inc. Phonics was adopted by Dundee City Council to improve early phonics and reading. We continue to be enthused by the programme’s approach to learning and teaching. Staff found the training “engaging and effective” and it has helped build confidence. Development Days ensure our practice is up to date and Ruth Miskin trainers are always keen to offer advice and support.”
Staff at Mexico City school see ‘real impact on pupil learning’ after Read Write Inc. Phonics training
We needed a consistent approach to phonics teaching. On a visit to schools in England, we saw Read Write Inc. Phonics in action and were impressed. The training was great fun and ensured that all staff felt confident teaching the programme.
