We start by teaching phonics to the children in the Reception class. This means that they learn how to ‘read’ the sounds in words and how those sounds can be written down. This is essential for reading, but it also helps children learn to spell well. We teach the children simple ways of remembering these sounds and letters.Free eBooks | Videos | Set 1 resources | Set 2 resources | Set 3 resources | Kits and flashcards to use at home Read Write Inc.

Laura Stainer shared this excellent photo in our group. They use ‘colour popper wallets for each band, and label these with the book name and number’. Then, they put inside ‘a teacher copy of the book, all of the Green Word Cards, a lesson plan and the story introduction’, as well as ‘all of the books they need’. Children in Early Years are introduced to initial sounds. Children then begin to learn how to 'read' the sound in words and how those sounds be can be written down. As children progress, they follow the same format as Early Yearsbut will work on complex sounds and read books appropriate to their reading level. Daily sessions of RWI phonics last 30 minutes. Once children become fluent speedy readers they will move on to the RWI Spelling programme.
