Intent:
At Penryn, we aim for all our children to become fluent, confident readers who are passionate about reading. Reading will give your child the tools to become an independent life-long learner. We recognize the importance of the English language in preparing children to be confident in all aspects of their lives. We believe that improved performance in reading, writing and spoken language will enable our pupils to engage more successfully with other curriculum subjects, while enriching their lives beyond school.
Phonics
Our intention is to rapidly and effectively build phonics skills in order to develop confident decoding, blending and segmenting skills through Read, Write, Inc (RWI).
What is Read Write Inc?
Read Write Inc (RWI) is a phonics 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. Small group phonics lessons are taught daily by trained staff and there are consistent expectations across the range of abilities. Children begin their phonics journey from Nursery and will continue this until Year 2. At the end of each half term the children are assessed to check their progress and regrouped accordingly.
