Starting in Nursery, pupils are given a huge range of opportunities for purposeful mark making in provision and begin to ascribe meaning to their marks ✏ Daily activities to develop gross and fine motor skills support pupils in gaining the early skills needed for handwriting 📑
In Early Years, our pupils learn to read and write effectively and quickly using the Read Write Inc.(RWI) Phonics programme. RWI is a method of learning centred round letter sounds and phonics, and we use it to aid children in their early reading and writing.
Reading opens the door to learning 🎓 A child who reads will become a good reader 📚 A good reader will be able to read more challenging material – a child who reads challenging material is a child who will learn. The more a child learns, the more he or she will want to find out 😊
Using RWI, the children learn to read effortlessly so that they can put all their energy into comprehending (understand and infer) what they read.
When using RWI to read the children will:
- Learn 44 sounds and the corresponding letter/letter groups using simple picture prompts.
- Learn to read words using Fred Talk🐸
- Read lively stories featuring words they have learned to sound out.
- Show that they comprehend the stories by answering questions.
When using RWI to write the children will:
- Learn to write the letters/letter groups which represent 44 sounds.
- Learn to write words by saying the sounds in Fred Talk 🐸
- Write simple sentences.
Below are information videos which will give you an insight into the phonics delivery in school.
