Phonics
Read, Write, Inc. (RWI)
If your child is in Reception or Year 1, they will have a daily phonics lesson. We use the Read, Write, Inc. (RWI) phonics scheme to teach early reading. If your child is in Year 2, they may have daily RWI lessons. If your child is in Year 3, they may have regular phonics interventions.
The daily phonics teaching plan below is there if you choose to use it, depending on your own confidence and time. You may choose to watch the daily phonics lesson with your child and you may wish to read the e books which are available for free. You may wish to pick and choose from the activities below. There is no expectation that you will do this; it is here if you want to.

If you already have the Online Subscription, please continue to send home links to specific films from the Virtual Classroom. This is the best way to ensure children practise sounds and words at their individual level.
Go to www.ruthmiskin.com for the daily schedule (available soon) and further information.
Spell the words taught and reviewed in the online lesson – you could also teach other words that have the sound in.
Spell common exception words for your child’s year group – these can be found at https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/. Scroll down and look at Learning at Home Activities which is split into year groups.
After spellings, choose one RWI book from the free RWI e books available on Oxford Owl, (some groups currently only have 1 book available) which are noted below. To access the e books, go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/, click on Levels, then Read Write Inc Level and choose the colour group your child is in.
- Ask your child to read the book out loud.
- They should use a pointer e.g. a pencil or a ruler to read the words.
- You could practise reading it together to start with and then ask your child to read.
- The book you choose should be read every day, until your child is fluent.
- There are guides and questions at the end/back of the e book to work through.
