Reading

As of Autumn Term 2022, we will be implementing our new Read Write Inc. literacy schemes. Pupils will begin with Read Write Inc. Phonics and progress through the scheme to Read Write Inc. Comprehension and finally Read Write Inc. Literacy & Language.

Pupils being taught with the Read Write Inc. Phonics scheme will be assessed every half-term and placed in an appropriate group. Pupils will be allocated online Read Write Inc. Phonics Storybooks, accessible via Oxford Owl: www.oxfordowl.co.uk. Pupils will be allocated 1-2 books per week depending on their group, along with a phonics practice quiz. Please speak to your child’s class teacher for information on their username, password and school code.

Please read our Parent booklet for further information on the Read Write Inc. Phonics scheme: Parent Booklet – RWI Phonics

Pupils who progress to Read Write Inc. Comprehension and Read Write Inc Literacy & Language will continue to read Bug Club books. Please read our information on the Bug Club reading scheme for more information: “Bug Club” Reading Scheme / Darllen
