Curriculum

At Norbriggs Primary School, we use the Read Write Inc programme so our children can become confident, independent readers. Children who read regularly or are read to regularly are more likely to succeed. More importantly, reading will give your child the tools to become independent life-long learners!

We can achieve this together through:

Read Write Inc, a programme to help your child read at school.
Encouraging children to read by reading to them daily and listening to them read daily, at home and at school.
Giving children access to a wide range of books at school and at home.

What is Read Write Inc?

Read Write Inc (RWI) is a phonics complete literacy programme which helps all children learn to read fluently and at speed so they can focus on developing their skills in comprehension, vocabulary and spelling. The programme is designed for children aged 4-7. However, at Norbriggs Primary School we begin the programme in Nursery and will continue teaching RWI to children beyond the age of 7 if they still need support in their reading.

RWI was developed by Ruth Miskin and more information on this can be found at https://www.ruthmiskin.com/parents/

Reading Scheme

Children in reception begin by reading single sounds and as they blend confidently they are given phonics books to take home to practise their reading skills. The core reading scheme follows our phonics scheme "Read Write Inc". Children are able to use their phonics sounds taught in school to help them segment and blend the words so they can read the story. As their reading ability progresses, the books become more challenging. The books also include questions to support comprehension. Once the children have completed the phonics scheme and phonics books, they move to KS2 Oxford Reading Tree banded books before they become free readers where they can choose any book they would like to read.

As a school, we encourage reading at home with class rewards and have a school library where children can loan a variety of different books both fiction and non-fiction.
