At Boyton, we know that reading and being read to has a significant impact of children’s achievements in school and beyond into adult life. Before we consider independent reading for pleasure, we need to give children the opportunities to hear spoken words, have stories read to them and told, listen to poems and rhymes and hear a wealth of spoken language that they can use in storytelling and play...this can start at home. 

Learning to read is the most important thing your child will learn at our school. Everything else depends on it! So we put as much energy as we possibly can into making sure that every single child learns to read as quickly as possible.

What is Read, Write Inc? 

We use the highly successful Read Write Inc. Phonics programme to teach our children to read, write and spell. RWInc provides a  structured and systematic approach to teaching phonics, reading and writing. Chat to your child's class teacher and have a look at the resources below to see how you too can support your child in the early stages of learning to read.
