READ WRITE INC SPELLING AT REDESDALE PRIMARY SCHOOL

At Redesdale Primary School we use the Read Write Inc Spelling Programme from Year 2 to  Year 6 for the following reasons-:

• To enable to allow us meet the spelling expectations of the National Curriculum 2014
• To raise standards in spelling
• To provide consistency and progression in the teaching of spelling
• To help support children to enable them to be more confident at spelling.

How does this programme support your child in learning to spell?

Read Write Inc Spelling is an interactive programme which teaches spellings in a fun and engaging way. Each unit is introduced with a short video. It helps children to learn spellings with common patterns and uses rules in order to help them recall spellings as well as teaching exceptions to these rules.

Building independence

Giving children weekly spellings to be tested (even when they do score 10/10!) does not mean that they will apply these in their own written work. With the Read Write Inc approach to the teaching of spellings we hope to support and encourage your child to become both more confident and independent spellers which will help them become better writers.  Revisiting spelling patterns and rules regularly is key to them becoming successful spellers.

Remember that the Read Write Inc Spelling Programme is there to help them to become better at spelling with positive praise and encouragement and that, like everything, this will take practice.
