The information below about phonics and the Read Write Inc. (RWI) programme is to help parents understand the structured approach to teaching reading and writing that their children are experiencing in school.
By familiarising yourselves with what phonics is and why it's important for developing strong reading skills, you can better support your child at home.
The details on the Read Write Inc. sound sets and book levels will provide insight into your child's learning progression, helping you to understand what sounds and complexities they are currently encountering and how these match their reading materials.
Furthermore, the provided tips on how to support phonics learning at home, such as daily reading, practising sounds, and playing phonics games, offer practical ways to reinforce what is being taught in the classroom and build your child's confidence and fluency in reading.
The workshops in September 2025 will also offer further guidance on accessing the RWI portal and teaching reading at home, enhancing your ability to assist your child's literacy development
