Read Write Inc
At Grangetown Primary we follow the Read, Write, Inc. Scheme which has been developed by Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc. We have seen a huge impact in our KS1 reading scores and Phonics scores over the last 2 years.
Read, Write, Inc. (RWI) is taught from EYFS to Y2 in small teaching groups. Interventions are also taking place across KS2 when needed. We have a dedicated RWI 45min session each morning.
