Phonics workshop Friday 8th November 2013
Read, Write, Inc. • How does it work? • Introduce/re-cap letter sounds • Word cards • ‘Fred fingers’ • ‘Air-writing’ and letter formation • Move onto ditty books/coloured books and writing activities- differentiated to suit your child’s ability
Read, Write, Inc. • Children are assessed regularly by their child’s class teacher or maybe by the RWI manager • This information is used to track children’s progress and decide on new groupings • Mrs Fredericks and I both provide support- in two groups a the moment
Read, Write, Inc. • If children are really finding it hard, they may be provided with 1:1 daily sessions • Children that need to be ‘extended’ will be catered for during the session too- providing a challenge for them • Some children may go to other classes for RWI- the phonics part, for the first 15 minutes of the lesson after break
Learning to read • High frequency words • Reading books to ‘share and enjoy’ • Children may start to bring home books from different coloured levels- depending on their ability • Pronouncing the sound correctly • Segmenting and blending c-a-t= cat
Learning to read • Read WITH your child regularly • Read TO you child regularly • Develops their language, imagination and vocabulary • Visit the library- great resource • Storytelling • Every child is different and will progress at different rates
Handwriting Pre-cursive • Why did we introduce it? • Every letter starts in the same place • Better for the ‘flow’ of writing • Children will adapt to seeing and reading different fonts and styles of writing- we have a variety within our classroom environment
