What is Read, Write, Inc. (RWI) Phonics?

How to Say the Sounds

Children make the best progress when their learning is supported at home. However, it is also important that children say the phonic sounds correctly. To help parents and carers, this short video demonstrates how to say each sound. 

Year 1 Phonics Screening Check

Year 1 pupils and those from Year 2 who did not meet the threshold last year will complete their word reading check between Monday 9th June and Friday 13th June 2025. This video and presentation will give you further information.

Parent Workshops

Read, Write, Inc.- Get Reading in Reception! 

Our second reception Read Write Inc. (RWI) workshop took place on Thursday, 30th January, and was a fantastic experience for both parents and children. Families thoroughly enjoyed participating together in daily Read Write Inc. lessons, creating a wonderful opportunity for shared learning.

The children confidently demonstrated how they “Fred Talk” to read words, while parents picked up valuable tips to support reading at home. The sessions were delivered by the children’s own reading teachers, ensuring personalised guidance tailored to each child’s needs.

We are incredibly grateful for the support from our families—it was truly heartwarming to see everyone so engaged. What a delightful morning it was!
