Parents and Carers
Many parents and carers are keen to use Read Write Inc. with their children at home to help them get reading - FAST! This section is dedicated to you and how you can help develop your child's reading skills.
Letter to Parents – Download Ruth Miskin's Letter to Parents, which outlines exactly how the Read Write Inc. programme works.

How will I know how to pronounce the phonic sounds?
You can practise saying the sounds by downloading our phonic sounds PowerPoint presentation using the link below. Save the presentation to your computer and click ‘view slideshow’ to run the presentation. Click your left mouse button to cue each sound.
Download the phonic sounds presentation as a zip file winzip or winrar may be required to unzip this file
Download the phonic sounds presentation (uncompressed) - Larger file size means longer download
To view this file you will need Microsoft Powerpoint or the free alternative, OpenOffice. Alternatively a free Powerpoint viewer can be downloaded from Microsoft.
What will I need to order?
Start by buying Speed Sound Cards Set 1 and a Sound Picture Frieze to put in your child's bedroom.
When your child can read and blend these sounds into words, they will soon be ready to read the Set 1 and 2 Storybooks.
As your child progresses through the programme you may then like to order further materials such as:
- Speed Sounds Cards Sets 2 and 3
- Further sets of storybooks
