Classroom resources

The Introductory Module helps pupils read words in short simple texts and 33 further weekly Modules have carefully levelled phonically decodable texts to help students learn to read quickly. Each Module contains a fiction or non-fiction text and a range of comprehension and writing activities.  

New motivating age-appropriate Modules reflect children’s everyday experiences and backgrounds.

Reading practice 

Engaging Read Write Inc. Fresh Start Readers give even more levelled reading practice to older struggling readers. Each book contains two texts aligned to the newly refreshed 34 Fresh Start Modules. They have a grown-up look and feel that resembles books that their peers might be reading.   

The seven Fresh Start Anthologies align to the teaching progression of the Modules and include quizzes, playscripts and comic strips for pupils to enjoy.
