At Phoenix, we deliver our phonics lessons using Read Write Inc. Read Write Inc. is a popular phonics scheme. Like all phonics schemes, it teaches children the sounds in English, the letters that represent them, and how to form the letters when writing. Read Write Inc. Phonics includes reading books written using only the letters they have learnt at each level (and a few separately taught tricky words). Tricky words (red words) are words where the spelling of the word does not appear to fit with the phonemes that children have been taught so far. These words are taught as whole words rather than as a combination of sounds.

Using the Read Write Inc. scheme, children quickly feel confident and successful readers.
