Phonics
Read Write Inc
We use Read Write Inc phonics to teach the children at this school learn how to pronounce sounds and read words.
How do you pronounce the sounds?
This is an example of how to pronounce the sounds used in Set 1, 2 and 3 of Read Write Inc.
How to teach your children at home.
To help the children learn how to pronounce the sounds, write the letter and read words that include that sound - each of them have their own mnemonics to help remember this. For example, the sound 'f' is taught by the children learning 'fffffflower' and they are taught to write it by learning 'down the stem and draw the leaves'.
Below is a video which will help you to reinforce these sounds and handwriting techniques at home.
Read Write Inc have made two parent information booklets which you may find helpful. We have also included a printable document to help reifnorce the techniques used to teach your children how to write correctly.
