  1. Read Write Inc Parent information session October 2014

  2. “Reading is the one ability, that once set in motion, has the ability to feed itself, grow exponentially and provide a basis from which possibilities are endless.” • Michael Morpurgo

  3. Children who read at home do well at school • Read fluently • Write confidently • Speak articulately

  4. Why Phonics? • Read Write Inc. Phonics is systematic and structured. • Assessment is rigorous and effective – one-to-one tutoring ensures that no child is left behind. • Your children are thoroughly supported – the resources match your child’s learning in class and they can share them with you at home. • Reading is a vital skill which all children need in order to access all areas of the curriculum.

  5. Who is Phonics for? • Phonics is usually taught in Reception and Key Stage 1. • Most children should be fluently reading, without Phonics, by Year 2. These children move onto Read Write Inc. Literacy and Language.

  6. A bit of technical knowledge… • Phonics = the sounds in our language. • Watch a sound pronunciation guide using the following link: • http://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/resources/sound-pronunciation-guide/ • If you’re unsure, ask your children because they will soon be Read Write Inc experts!

  7. These are our Set 1 and Set 2 sounds.

  8. The English language is a complex code… • It would be easy if we only had to learn Set 1 and Set 2 sounds.

  9. As the children learn even more sounds we use this complex speed sound chart so that children can see the different ways of making each sound.

  10. How do phonics help us read? • Say “hello” to Fred. Fred can only talk in sounds... He says “c_a_t.” Not cat. We call this Fred Talk We also use Fred Fingers By pressing sounds onto our fingers

  11. How to help your child at home…

  12. You can read stories with your child, relentlessly! • Read favourite stories over and overagain. • Read some stories at a higher level than they can read themselves. • Listen to them reading their storybooks once they are able to but until then, discuss picture books and what they think is happening in the pictures.

  13. You can practice pronouncing sounds Practice reading and writing the sounds learned at school (remember no ‘fuh’ or ‘luh’). Write the green words learned that week using Fred Fingers first to help sound out.

  14. You can have fun with Fred Talk “What a tidy r-oo-m!” “Where’s your c-oa-t?” “Time for b-e-d!”

  15. You can watch video tutorials • For how to do all these things and more • www.ruthmiskintraining.com/parents

  16. You can order resources online • https://global.oup.com/education/content/primary/series/rwi/parents/ • You can also order some resources fromamazon.com too, but please do not feel obligated to buy resources, you can make these things at home with just paper and pencils!

  17. Still worried? • If you have any worries please, please, please ask one of the foundation staff members for help, we don’t bite (hard)!
