Phonics (RWI)

Phonics (RWI)

At Hollingwood, we learn phonics through Read Write Inc.

When children are initially learning the phonemes (sounds), each one has an accompanying picture. This helps children to memorise them and also form the letters correctly when writing. We also read story books that are specifically tailored to your child's stage in that only the sounds they know will be included in the text. This way, a love of reading is promoted and reading fluency is increased.
