Read Write Inc Phonics Programme
Read Write Inc phonics teaching involves teaching pupils the code of the written language in a systematic way. This means, they learn the code a piece at a time. Phonics allows pupils to decode words they’ve never seen before. With phonics knowledge, a child can decode a word he’s never even heard. With phonics skills, a child can become an independent learner. A child can transfer their phonics knowledge to anything. He can read new books, new signs, new magazines. Since phonics unlocks the code, pupils can decipher and learn from brand new content.
Talk for Writing
Talk for Writing is an engaging teaching framework developed by Pie Corbett, supported by Julia Strong. It is powerful because it is based on the principles of how children learn. It enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version.
This has been introduced across Rowhill school to strengthen their imagination and writing skills
