  2. Read Write Inc. at Padnell Infant School

  3. What did Literacy look like before Read Write Inc.? • Why change?

  4. Why Read Write Inc? • Tried and tested over many years • Systematic and structured • Early success in reading • Training and ongoing staff development

  5. What are the roles at our school? • Read Write Inc Manager • Read Write Inc teachers • One to One tutors

  6. Ruth Miskin • One of the UK's leading authorities on teaching children to read. • Many years' experience as a teacher, headteacher, teacher-trainer and consultant in synthetic phonics, working with primary and secondary schools throughout the UK. • Over the last ten years, all her time has been devoted to developing Read Write Inc. • Believes that every child can, and must, learn to read. • http://oxfordowl.co.uk/Question/Index/3 - Introductory video

  7. Aims of the programme • Aims to get all children to at least a level 2a • Children working above this level work on comprehension and other reading and writing activities in their groups • Children are assessed regularly so groupings are fluid and children may move often to ensure they are always targeted at their level • 6 Principles – Participation Positive Teaching/Praise Pace Purpose Passion Perseverence

  8. How does it work? Children: • Learn 44 sounds and matching letters/letter groups • Learn to blend sounds to read words • Read lots of specially written books This is decoding

  9. How does it work? Children: • Talk a lot about what they have read to show they understand • Listen to and discuss other ideas to deepen understanding This is comprehending

  10. Children learn a simple code first

  11. If English had a simple code spelling and reading would be much easier!! play mayk trayn cafay strayt wayt brayk green dreem kee hee happee light kight fligh Igh igh tigh blow smowk flowt gow mowst moon broot bloo groo Ough - A rough-coated, dough-faced ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough, coughing and hiccoughing thoughtfully.

  12. Graphemes • A grapheme is a sound written down • English has more than 150 graphemes • For example /igh/ is one grapheme – one way of spelling that sound. • It is a very complex code! • (In Spanish, there are 29 graphemes, and 24 phonemes – a much easier language to learn!)

  13. Fred... • Fred helps children learn to read Fred can only talk in sounds... (Fred can only say c_a_t, he can’t say cat) We call this Fred Talk

  14. Fred... • Fred helps children learn to spell as well! Children convert words into sounds They press the sounds they hear on to their fingers... We call this Fred Fingers

  15. Speed Sounds • Fred Frog • Pronunciation – website on your leaflet • Set 1 Speed Sounds (simple) • Sets 2 & 3 Speed Sounds (complex) • Video

  17. Green words and red words – what’s the difference? • Extended writing opportunities in other curriculum areas

  18. What’s new or different? • New reading books for the classroom and to read at home • When children bring home a Ditty or storybook they will have already practised it at school. • Spellings will not be sent home initially – take place in RWI groups • Individual reading – teachers will not write in reading records for individuals • Guided Reading – takes place in RWI groups • Children marking own work
