Phonics
At Treverbyn Academy we use a phonics programme to teach reading called 'Read, Write, Inc Phonics.’
"Children learn the English alphabetic code: first they learn one way to read the 40+ sounds and blend these sounds into words, then learn to read the same sounds with alternative graphemes. They experience success from the very beginning. Lively phonic books are closely matched to their increasing knowledge of phonics and ‘tricky’ words and, as children re-read the stories, their fluency increases. Along with a thought-provoking introduction, prompts for thinking out loud and discussion, children are helped to read with a storyteller’s voice."

The attached Teaching and Learning Principles explain in detail our Phonics teaching at Treverbyn as well as Skills Progression through KS1.
Have a look at the videos and resources below which introduce you to Read Write Inc.
Have a look at the video to see how each sound is pronounced.
Read Write Inc is taught in 3 sets across EYFS and Year 1.
Words are split into red and green words. Red words being tricky and not decodable. Green words being easily segmented and blended.
The national Phonics Screening Check is performed in June of Year 1. The purpose of the screening check is to confirm that all children have learned phonic decoding to an age-appropriate standard. The children who did not meet the required standard for the check in year 1 enter again in Year 2 with additional support.
