At our school, we follow Read Write Inc. as our systematic, synthetic phonics programme. This ensures a consistent, rigorous and cumulative approach to the teaching of early reading across the school.

Read Write Inc. provides a carefully sequenced progression of grapheme, phoneme correspondences, enabling pupils to secure the foundations of reading and decode with accuracy and increasing fluency. Children who need additional help receive targeted, timely intervention, ensuring that all pupils keep up rather than catch up.

Fully decodable books are matched to each child’s phonic knowledge, allowing pupils to practise their skills confidently and develop fluency, comprehension and a positive attitude towards reading. Through high‑quality teaching and regular assessment, we ensure that every pupil is supported to become a confident, successful reader from the earliest stages of their education.
