Phonics

Read Write Inc. Programme

We teach Read Write Inc. (RWI) to children in Nursery-Y2. We also teach this to children who are new to English, or any child across the school that is developing their English Language and Reading Skills. RWI is a phonics programme that teaches children to read accurately and fluently with good comprehension.

 

We would like the children, over the time while they are at home, to keep practicing their phonics and learning their sounds and reading words.

 

 

Please also follow the link below to find a wealth of information about the programme and how you can help your child at home https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/

 

If you have any questions regarding phonics please don’t hesitate to email at the following address: rwi@welldonparkprimary.harrow.sch.uk

 

Read Write Inc. Spelling

 

Spellings are taught using the Read. Write. Inc spelling scheme. The programme is effective in teaching spelling because we:

 

  • Teach bite-sized lessons that build knowledge cumulatively
  • Make spelling fun - aliens introduce spelling rules on an exciting online spelling planet
  • Give children a range of interesting activities that enhance their understanding
  • Provide practice tests to record children’s progress
  • Easily and quickly fill the gaps in children’s spelling knowledge.

 

For ideas on how to support children with spelling, follow the link below.
