In-school Development Days
What are Development Days?
Development Days are unique to Read Write Inc. They are proven to support reading teams to get every child to read. The more Development Days you book, the greater the impact. Our Standard Package includes two days, but you can upgrade to have more.
A Development Day is your day and is bespoke to your school. The trainer works with the Reading Leader, headteacher and reading teachers on a normal school day, focusing on children who need extra support. We gain feedback after every day, so we know how much schools value these days.
Development Days are available as part of our Ruth Miskin Training packages.

“Having regular Development Days has been integral to the rapid and sustained progress of early reading at Stifford Clays. The guidance, expertise and knowledge of our trainer, has been invaluable in our mission to ensure that every child becomes a confident reader.”

“Our school would not have made as much progress or achieved our phonics screening results without our Development Days. They provide our teachers with feedback to continuously improve their phonics teaching.”
