Phonics.
At St Francis Xavier, we follow the Read Write Inc. (RWI) scheme when delivering our phonics sessions each day. We believe that RWI phonics provides the concrete foundations of learning for children to flourish as they grow with a love for reading throughout school. Through the systematic teaching of phonics, children are able to develop their fluency while also building upon their skills in comprehension, vocabulary and spelling. Through Read, Write, Inc phonics children learn an alphabetic code, each with a matching rhyme which helps the children to retain the sound information. All reading books progress cumulatively, matched to the sound’s children are learning and already know to ensure fluency yet challenge.
