only

talk in sounds...

Read Write Inc - Biggest changes you will notice.

• Stage not age – children are grouped based on their reading level, on-going assessments help identify children who are making speedy progress and children who may need one to one tuition.

Home reading books – for children on the RWInc programme.

RWInc book – this is the book that your child has worked on in lessons and is sent home approximately every third day or every fifth day. They should know this book inside out! It should not be difficult, it should be effortless as it is at their reading level. It is your child’s opportunity to review their sounds and to build confidence. -Guided choice: a book your child has chosen. They may need your help with this book as it may not be at their level. Great opportunity to read together, to model reading and enrich vocabulary. 30/04/2020 Copyright Ruth Miskin Training 15

Home readers

Group A children will only get a guided choice book as they are not ready for the RWInc books yet. (If you wish to know which group your child is in please ask their class teacher). Group B & C children will be sent home with a ‘Red Ditty’ either in a paper book format or a photocopied sheet. Your child’s class teacher can tell you which group your child is in. 30/04/2020 Copyright Ruth Miskin Training 16

For children on the RWInc programme

• Spellings – will not be sent home for chdn in the programme as children are tested within the RWInc lessons. Some children may be sent home ‘red words’. • Attendance is vital due to the speed of the programme. 30/04/2020 Copyright Ruth Miskin Training 17

How can you help your child?

By using pure sounds, no ‘ugh’ (Youtube – Read Write Inc – pure sounds) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J2Ddf_0 Om8 Knowing the graphemes (letters ‘ng’ ‘igh’)

And...

Understanding how ‘Fred’ helps with reading and spelling and by having fun with Fred Talk at home!

“What a tidy r-oo-m!” “Where’s your c-oa-t?” “Time for b-e-d!”

And...

By

reading

your child lots of lovely stories and asking lots of questions!

Use these prompts to help you: What do you think happens next?

What is that character thinking?

What is happening?

What is the character saying?

What do you think that character is feeling now?

And...

By

talking

to your child as much as possible and ‘feeding’ them new and different words: “Let’s eat our lunch now.” “Let’s munch our lunch now.” “Let’s scoff our lunch now.” “Let’s devour our lunch now!” By

enriching conversations

through description:

“Look at that rain. It looks like little diamonds sparkling on the window pane!”

And...

By having a look at the parents’ information for tips and resources for supporting your child at home: https://global.oup.com/education/content/primary/series/rwi/pa rents/ (RWI resources are published by Oxford University Press) 4/30/2020

Fresh Start Modules: reading and writing. These are for children in Years 5 & 6 who need to catch up.
