Annecy Catholic Primary School has been part of a Teaching
and Leadership Innovation Fund project since October 2018. This programme, in
partnership with Ruth Miskin Training, has enabled us to deliver high quality
professional development training to support the teaching of phonics across our
school.
Read Write Inc. Phonics teaches children to read accurately and fluently with good comprehension. They learn to form each letter, spell correctly, and compose their ideas step-by-step.

Read Write Inc.
Children learn the
English alphabetic code: first they learn one way to read the 40+ sounds and
blend these sounds into words, then learn to read the same sounds with
alternative graphemes.
They experience
success from the very beginning. Lively phonic books are closely matched to
their increasing knowledge of phonics and ‘tricky’ words and, as children
re-read the stories, their fluency increases.
Along with a
thought-provoking introduction, prompts for thinking out loud and discussion,
children are helped to read with a storyteller’s voice.
The children write every day, rehearsing out loud what they want
to say, before spelling the words using the graphemes and ‘tricky’ words they
know.
They practise handwriting every day: sitting at a table
comfortably, they learn correct letter formation and how to join letters
speedily and legibly.
Children’s composition (ideas, vocabulary and grammar) is
developed by drawing on their own experiences and talking about the stories
they read.
Read Write Inc. Phonics is fully matched to the National
Curriculum.
