Learning to Read – Top tips

Mrs Nicoll, our school’s reading leader and Principal Teacher, has designed a very useful guide for parents to our learning to read programme. We use the Read, Write, Inc approach and materials in helping us to teach reading in school. Please see below a link to this guide:

RWI – Parents Help Grid (1)

Mrs Nicoll, Mrs Soutar and Mr Sturrock also attended an update training event on 28th August with the Ruth Miskin (Read, Write, Inc) trainers. They shared with us this very helpful guide for parents based on reading with your child. In the lead up to your child taking their first book home (once they have mastered the Set 1 sounds and can blend), these activities are very useful in continuing to develop your child’s skills as a developing reader.
