INTENT
At St Vincent’s Catholic Primary School, we use the Read Write Inc. (RWI) phonics programme developed by Ruth Miskin to ensure every child becomes a confident, fluent, and enthusiastic reader. Our approach is rooted in a systematic, consistent, and inclusive method of teaching synthetic phonics that gives all children the best possible start in their reading journey.
We aim to:
-
Ensure all children learn to read accurately, fluently and with good comprehension
-
Develop children’s confidence, enthusiasm, and love of reading from the very beginning of their school life
-
Equip children with the phonetic knowledge and decoding skills needed to become independent readers
-
Provide high-quality, consistent teaching through a structured programme that supports both early readers and those needing additional support
-
Promote reading as a gateway to learning across the curriculum and a lifelong skill for every child
