Read Write Inc (RWI) is a consistent, rigorous, and dynamic literacy program to teach EVERY child to read by the age of six. Using synthetic phonics, children quickly learn to blend letter sounds following a fun and effective program.

The RWI program has been proven to be a very successful method of teaching every child to read and write using phonics. All children in the school have been assessed and have been put into groups at the appropriate level for them. Some children will follow their normal Literacy lessons due to the completion of the RWI modules.
