Read Write Inc. Phonics
Transform your teaching of early reading and writing
Read Write Inc. Phonics teaches children to read accurately and fluently with good comprehension. They learn to form each letter, spell correctly, and compose their ideas step-by-step.
Our dynamic trainers demonstrate the activities step-by-step, using footage of real lessons. They help you practise and prepare before teaching and use management strategies to engage children and speed up progress.

4 to 8-year-old children
1 hour a day
Taught by teachers and TAs
4 to 30 grouped according to progress
Half-termly assessments
Children learn the English alphabetic code: first they learn one way to read the 40+ sounds and blend these sounds into words, then learn to read the same sounds with alternative graphemes.
They experience success from the very beginning. Lively phonic books are closely matched to their increasing knowledge of phonics and ‘tricky’ words and, as children re-read the stories, their fluency increases.
Along with a thought-provoking introduction, prompts for thinking out loud and discussion, children are helped to read with a storyteller’s voice.
The children write every day, rehearsing out loud what they want to say, before spelling the words using the graphemes and ‘tricky’ words they know.
They practise handwriting every day: sitting at a table comfortably, they learn correct letter formation and how to join letters speedily and legibly.
Children’s composition (ideas, vocabulary and grammar) is developed by drawing on their own experiences and talking about the stories they read.

"The training was engaging and practical. I'm inspired to go back to nursery and teach the children single letter sounds."

"I felt that the Consultant Trainer was extremely knowledgeable and confident at delivering the training. Any questions I had were answered and I liked that the trainer walked around to check we were doing things correctly and everyone was involved."

"I have just had 2 days training at Lynnfield Primary School, Hartlepool which was delivered by Paul Daglish. I would just like to say the training was excellent and he made the 2 days enjoyable. He had a calm manner and explained clearly what needs to be delivered with appropriate explanations. When he demonstrated each step, in the bite size chunks, he showed us exactly how to respond to and deliver it to the children. I am in Year 3 this year, and will not be delivering the full programme, however there are certainly some aspects I will be taking away and using in my classroom. "
