Reading in Year 1 using Read Write Inc In Class 1 we follow the Read Write Inc phonics programme where we practice reading sounds, spelling and reading daily. Please click here to find more information on how we teach reading in school.
Each week, we will send a link for the phonics sound your child has been learning. These will be sent via Class Dojo. This not only keeps you up to date with sounds your child has learnt, but also offers an opportunity for them to show off their reading skills - please encourage your child to practise as often as they can!
Home learning Each Monday we will change RWI reading books and set new spellings for the following week. Please could we ask that children bring their orange home learning book into school, together with their reading folder every Monday. Weekly Spellings - please click on the links below.
