At RPS we use Read Write Inc phonics to teach children to read. We start this program when children are ready in nursery and continue to use it to teach phonics in Reception, year 1 and 2. Phonics is a really important early reading skill.
Helen Walsh (Early Years Lead) has produced a virtual workshop for parents in Reception and Nursery to watch. It aims at teaching parents about the program we are using. This is accessible on the school’s website and parents can access it via this link: https://bit.ly/2T07XXY
We hope you find it helpful. Read Write Inc have also created a ‘youtube’ page with video lessons teaching phonics that parents can access at home at the following link:

We will use film clips from this page in the event of children in Reception or year 1 being required to self-isolate.
