In 2019 we were placed in the top 2% of schools nationally for our phonics results.
At Brooksward we follow the Read Write Inc program for our phonics teaching. Developed by Ruth Miskin, Read Write Inc is a high impact phonics management programme that can transform reading and writing for every child. We teach the children to hear, say, write and read the sounds in words This is taught across the school and assessed regularly until the children complete the scheme. This enables our pupils to be confident readers and this is shown by our Year 1 phonics results which are above the national average.
The following link explains what this scheme aims to achieve and how you can help your child.
Please contact your childs teacher if you have any questions about Read Write Inc, you can do this via Dojo or via the school office.
