Read Write Inc (RWI) 

is a programme to get children off to a flying start with their English. RWI is a method of learning centred round letter sounds and phonics, and we use it to aid children in their reading and writing.

When using RWI to read the children will:

  • learn that sounds are represented by written letters

  • learn 44 sounds and the corresponding letter/letter groups using simple picture prompts

  • learn how to blend sounds

  • learn to read words using Fred Talk

  • read lively stories featuring words they have learned to sound out

  • show that they comprehend the stories by answering questions 


When using RWI to write the children will:

  • learn to write the letters/letter groups which represent 44 sounds

  • learn to write words by saying the sounds in Fred Talk

  • write simple sentences

Handwriting – Each phoneme we have taught in Read, Write, Inc has a phrase which we use in order to help the children write the grapheme with the correct letter formation.

Please refer to this cursive alphabet sheet for the phrases to support your child with the development of their handwriting.
