Read Write Inc. Phonics is more than phonics, integrating comprehension, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and handwriting into comprehensive lesson plans and assessment resources. This learn-to-read program is for students 5-9 years and students are grouped according to their phonic level, targeting the teaching to their point of need.

The series incorporates effective classroom management strategies that ensure participation and fast progress for all students. There are a wide selection of fully decodable reading books for students to take home.

  • a comprehensive, robust, curriculum-aligned literacy program
  • a ‘phonics first and fast’ approach, with all aspects of literacy connecting
  • a program where every teacher is trained and confident to teach every child
  • best implemented as a whole-school, consistent, systematic approach
  • proven in both the UK and Australia as a program that delivers results.
