Our older children that are due to start school in September will start their Read Write Inc sessions this term.
Below is a parent information video to explain what Read Write Inc.
During your child's time in nursery we will focus on Speed Set 1.
Initially we become familiar with Speed set 1 by teaching the children to name the pictures. For example 'a' is in the shape of an apple, 'd' is in the shape of a dinosaur.
After this stage we will begin to focus on the letter sounds.
It is important that we use pure sounds when learning, below is a video to explain how to say the sounds.
Below are some extra links to other websites that you may want to consider exploring.
