What is Read Write Inc?
Read Write Inc. is a comprehensive literacy program designed to teach young children how to read, write, and spell. It was developed by Ruth Miskin, a former headteacher and teacher trainer in the UK.
The program uses a systematic and structured approach to phonics, which teaches children to decode words by breaking them down into their individual sounds, or phonemes. It also teaches children to read and write common exception words, which cannot be decoded using phonics alone.
In addition to phonics, the program also teaches comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills. It includes a range of resources such as books, flashcards, and online resources, and is designed to be used in primary schools in the UK.
The program has been widely adopted in primary schools in the UK and has been shown to be effective in improving children’s reading and writing skills. It is also used in some other countries around the world.
Stages of Learning
Read Write Inc. is a structured literacy program that is designed to help young children learn how to read, write, and spell. The program is divided into several stages, each of which builds upon the previous stage and helps children to develop their literacy skills further. The stages of learning in Read Write Inc. are as follows:
- Phonics – This stage introduces children to the sounds of the English language and teaches them how to sound out words using phonics.
- Word Recognition – This stage focuses on building children’s sight recognition of words that cannot be sounded out using phonics.
- Reading Comprehension – This stage helps children to understand what they are reading and to develop strategies for reading comprehension.
- Writing – This stage teaches children how to write letters, words, and sentences, and how to use punctuation and grammar correctly.
- Spelling – This stage helps children to learn how to spell words correctly and to develop strategies for spelling.
Throughout the program, children are encouraged to read a wide range of texts and to develop their reading skills. They are also taught how to write in a variety of genres and to develop their writing skills.
