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
Taught by teachers and Nursery Nurses
6 to 8 children in a group
Half-termly phonic assessment
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.
Read Write Inc. Phonics for Nursery is a one-day training for all nursery staff in schools, day or private nurseries and playgroups – either in-school for up to 45 staff (ideal for clusters and MATs) or as a regional training for smaller groups and individuals. The training is delivered with the Read Write Inc. Phonics for Nursery handbook and resources.
The one day face-to-face training for up to 45 staff (advised limit 30 during COVID-19) is £1100 + VAT.

As nurseries start using Read Write Inc. Phonics for Nursery from the Summer term, we will now be running the Phonics for Nursery Remote Regional Training from the second part of the Spring term only, so that individuals have time to receive the training before implementing it in schools.
