English - Phonics at Dothill
At Dothill Primary School we recognise the importance of phonics in making our pupils enthusiastic and confident readers and writers. We believe that phonics provides the foundations of learning to make the development into fluent reading and writing easier. To allow our children to develop a strong phonic awareness and to have effective blending and decoding skills, we have chosen to use a synthetic phonics programme called Read, Write, Inc. produced by Ruth Miskin. Read Write Inc. is a method of learning centred around letter sounds and phonics, blending sounds together to read and spell words and applying these skills across the curriculum. These fundamental skills not only hold the keys to the rest of the curriculum but also have a huge impact on children’s self-esteem and future life chances.
