Read Write Inc. actually teaches children to read and write. We love using this programme because children achieve so much so quickly. They want to read and write. It's the best literacy programme we have ever known.
Lorna Jackson, Headteacher, Maryland Primary School, London
There are many dimensions to your programme that support teaching and learning..... The successful teaching that has been evident since September has had beneficial effects on learning and behaviour across the school.
