At St. Ambrose, our pupils learn to read and write effectively and quickly using the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme. Children work on the programme until they have a secure understanding of phonics, which they are able to apply to their reading and writing.
Read Write Inc. Phonics
The programme is for:
- Pupils in Reception to Year 2 who are learning to read and write.
- Any pupils in Years 2, 3 and 4 who need to catch up rapidly
In Read Write Inc. Phonics pupils: - Decode letter-sound correspondences quickly and effortlessly, using their phonic knowledge and skills
- Read common exception words on sight
- Understand what they read
- Read aloud with fluency and expression
- Write confidently, with a strong focus on vocabulary and grammar
- Spell quickly and easily by segmenting the sounds in words
- Acquire good handwriting
In all year groups, we teach through the high-quality texts our children use in their reading lessons, texts which have been carefully chosen to be diverse and inclusive. In Reception and Key Stage 1, pupils are taught through ‘Talk through Stories’ and in Key Stage 2 pupils are taught through the Ark English Mastery Curriculum.
