At King David Primary School we are embarking on a new phonics adventure with Read Write Inc. Wewant to offer your child the best possible start to becoming independent readers.Children who read regularly or are read to regularly have the opportunity to open the doors to so many different worlds! More importantly, reading will give your child the tools to become independent life-long learners. Hold a sentenceis an activity that encourages children to remember a whole sentence while focusing on spelling and punctuation. These words will also complement their concept learning and provide more options for sentence construction and spelling. Although there are no absolute requirements for choosing the first dozen Red Words in kindergarten, most teachers are very familiar with the most commonly encountered words. Review and practice We start by teaching phonics to the children in the Reception class. This means that they learn how to ‘read’ the sounds in words and how those sounds can be written down. This is essential for reading, but it also helps children learn to spell well. We teach the children simple ways of remembering these sounds and letters. Since students often review red words outside of school, it is important to educate parents about the multisensory process and the potential outcomes of daily practice.

Participation– ensure every child participates throughout the lesson. Partnership work is fundamental to learning When we encounter familiar words (i.e. sight words), our brains can recognize them in less than 1/20 th of a second. Skilled readers can recognize words accurately and automatically when reading, making decoding effortless and improving fluency and comprehension. As Grey Group have had all of the Red Words as spellings, they will now have multi-syllabic words for their weekly spellings.For example, in the word “does,” the student would identify the three sounds, /d/-/ŭ/-/z/, by placing tokens to represent each of the sounds in the word. The teacher would then ask the student what letters they would expect to spell each sound. The teacher confirms (or corrects) the responses as the correct letters are written. The teacher draws a comparison to sounds that are expected (represented by a matched phoneme-in this word, the /d/) or unexpected (irregular spelling-in this word, the oe represents /ŭ/ and s represents /z/). Group words for instruction when they have the same spelling pattern (i.e. could, should, would ). Shared spelling and sound

We have lots of free Read Write Inc. Phonics resources to help your child, including eBooks, practice sheets and parent films. We suggest you start by watching this film for parents: What is Read Write Inc. Phonics? Speed sounds and Read Write Inc. Stages It is IMSE’s mission that all children must have the ability to read to fully realize their potential. We are committed to providing teachers with the knowledge and tools to prepare future minds. IMSE uses the term Red Word because the visual color red reminds students that these words are irregular. Lists of these words can be found on the Dolch List, Fry Instant Words, or in the index of many decodable readers. The Red Word instructional sequence facilitates and activates memory. The use of a multi-sensory approach to introduce pronunciation and spelling combined with repetitive review and practice assists the information to move from working memory and stored in our long-term memory.

There are endless possibilities to how you can use these printable red word flashcards in your lessons! As students are learning concepts c-qu and VC, CVC syllables, select words that can be incorporated into the phonics lesson for blending and dictation. Examples include can, not, it, and did.

Cluster words that all contain /z/ spelled with the letter s (i.e. has, his, as, is ). Build a base During the RWI session children will read the book three times and at each new reading they will have plenty of opportunities to practise using their developing comprehension skills. You may have heard your child talking about ‘ hold, edit or build a sentence’. So, building the student’s sight word bank is a primary goal. For this to happen, students need good research-based instruction and ample opportunities for review and practice. Here are some Red Word essentials. Adopt an evidence-based instructional sequence In Reception all children will learn how to ‘read’ the sounds in words and how those sounds can be written down.IMSE’s instructional sequence for learning a new Red Word teaches the students a systematic process engaging them in steps that integrate gross and fine motor movements, finger tracing, simultaneous verbalization, motor/muscle memory, writing, and short-term memory (digit span memory). Red Word instruction is an essential part of the weekly Orton-Gillingham lessons. Irregular words make up a large percentage of words that students encounter in their reading and writing, making it essential to include them in daily practice to enhance automatic word recall. Before you start to teach your child, practice saying the sounds below. These are the sounds we use to speak in English.Children initially begin using pictures for each sound, this will help children recognise the sound and then form the shape of the sound. It may be helpful for the student to see the unexpected spelling(s) highlighted in red and to count how many irregular spellings the word contains.
