Reading
We use a variety of strategies and resources to teach reading in our school. To teach phonics, we use the Read Write Inc programme.
Useful documents and advice can be found below.

Every year, we hold a parents' workshop about how we teach reading using RWI. The PowerPoint we use can be seen here.
This document gives parents information about the teaching sequence for the RWI sounds. You can also find a copy of the handwriting cards we use.
