As a school, we are working towards one shared aim: to build a community of readers who have a pleasure and enjoyment for reading. This doesn’t just mean liking reading, but also having the willingness to read. To be able to truly achieve this, there are skills we need to support the children in building and practising throughout their reading journey.

During a RWI lesson, children work through 3 main elements within the hour they have:

1. Phonics (speed sounds and word time)
2. Reading practise
3. Writing practise

For an entire hour, children practise these skills at their challenge level meaning they are constantly making progress.
