Read Write Inc
This is the phonic approach we use in school, developed by Ruth Miskin. Read Write Inc are producing daily videos during this time to support home learning. Please click on the image below to be taken to the Read Write Inc YouTube channel and read below for more information.
In addition there are informative videos for parents, to support you in understanding the Read Write Inc approach and how to use the YouTube video content to support your child's learning:
Here are some pointers as to which set of video lessons would be most appropriate to your child. Generally these phonics lessons are appropriate for children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. However children new to the English language may also find them beneficial.
Set 1: These videos are best suited to children in Nursery, beginner readers in Reception and children who are new to English. These are the set 1 sounds:
Once your child knows all the set 1 sounds and is able to blend (read) and segment (spell) simple words with these sounds then they may be ready to learn set 2 sounds. The set 2 sounds introduce some of the vowel sounds made using two letters (digraphs) and three letters (trigraphs). Children in Reception and Year 1 practise these sounds once they have mastered the set 1 sounds.
Children that know all of their set 1 and 2 sounds and can confidently read and write words, phrases and sentences containing them may be ready to learn set 3 sounds.
Set 3 sounds introduce alternative ways of spelling vowel sounds:

Where appropriate, you might refer to the spelling lists above to practise words with these patterns.
