Phonics

At Rickleton Primary School we use Read Write Inc Phonics (RWI) to give your child the best possible start with their English. Children in the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 have a daily phonics lessons.

Read Write Inc (RWI) is a phonics programme which helps children learn to read fluently and at speed so they can focus on developing their skills in comprehension, vocabulary and spelling. The programme is designed for children aged 4-7. However, at Rickleton Primary School we begin the programme in Nursery and will continue teaching RWI to children beyond the age of 7 if they still need support in their reading.

In addition, children who need further support with their reading and phonics will access and intervention called. Project X Code. Project X CODE is a proven reading intervention programme. It combines phonics and comprehension development. Children received 45minutes intervention at least 3 times per week.
