Phonics in Reception

Phonics In Reception

Making a Strong Start using Read Write Inc.

Right from the beginning of Reception, we use Read Write Inc. Phonics which is a highly successful English programme. All Reading Teachers at New Road have received training and support from Ruth Miskin Training, rated Outstanding by the Department for Education, to ensure we meet our aim for all children to become confident and enthusiastic readers.

The Read Write Inc. Phonics programme is carefully matched to the curriculum, giving every child at New Road Primary the best chance of success. 

​These are the Set 1 Speed Sounds written with one letter:

m  a  s  d  t  i  n  p  g  o  c  k  u  b  f  e  l  h  r  j  v  y  w  z  x

 

​These are the sounds written with two letters (your child will call these ‘special friends’):

sh  th  ch  qu  ng  nk  ck
