Read Write Inc. Phonics for Nursery
Right from the start
Spoken language underpins all seven areas of learning and development in the revised 2021 Early Learning Goals.
The aim is to reduce the language gap between children from language-rich homes and those who are not.
These three things make the biggest difference to reduce the language gap:
1. Reading aloud
2. Teaching children poems and songs
3. Talking with children
Nursery children rely on read-a-lot, talk-a-lot, and sing-a-lot nurseries!
There are films to help you develop storytimes and teaching language comprehension on our School Portal.
In the last term of Nursery, children are taught to say the sounds of letters with the help of mnemonics, to blend the sounds into words and read simple ‘blending books’. This gives them a flying start before starting Reception, but does not teach the Storybook reading or writing activities.
3 and 4-year-old children
2 storytimes a day and 15 minutes Phonics a day in last term

6 to 8 children in a group

Our dynamic trainers demonstrate activities one step at a time, using footage of real lessons. They help you practise and prepare before teaching and use management strategies to engage children and speed up progress.
