Our mission is to teach every child to read and write – and to keep them reading. No exceptions.
We give teachers the skills and confidence to reach every child, using the Read Write Inc. Phonics and other programmes developed by Ruth Miskin.
"Read Write Inc. Phonics is so much more than just a phonics programme; it taught us to believe in every single child and to deliver every lesson in an exciting, interactive way."
