Read Write Inc-lusive
Read Write Inc. Phonics is designed to be inclusive for all children – whatever their need.
- Our Online Assessment quickly identifies those children who need support and the exact support they need.
- Children are taught at their challenge point in small groups and/or by one-to-one tutoring.
- Our tutoring programme mirrors the incremental teaching steps used in the main programme, while ensuring teaching meets every child’s needs.
- We follow the SEN Code of Practice and take a ‘graduated approach’ to working with pupils with SEND – assess, plan, do, review.
- We make strong connections with the new thing being taught. Practice and repetition then strengthen the memory.
There is a wealth of training and support available, fine-tuned over 20 years. We are in it for the long term!
Lessons are well-paced, engaging and motivating. Pupils learn new sounds each week and importantly, review previous sounds and words until they read them confidently in closely matched decodable texts.
Assessment matches the steps, so progress is recognised and celebrated.

Let us help you go beyond the need and teach every child to read.
Please note: we recognise that there are a few children with exceptionally profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) who might not be able to access direct literacy instruction.
Pupil referral units (PRU) and social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH) specialist provision
Many students who attend a PRU or SEMH specialist provision, may have missed learning to read.
If most children are nine years old and under, we recommend the Phonics training and support package. This is also suitable for older children with significant learning difficulties. If most children are over nine and do not have significant learning difficulties, we recommend Fresh Start training for secondary schools.
Celebrating success!
Millstead Special School, Liverpool is one school of many who have impressed Ofsted with their commitment to getting every child to read with Read Write Inc.
Learning is linked inextricably to pupils’ education, health and care (EHC) plans. Staff use the curriculum to identify the knowledge and skills that pupils need to know. Using the school’s assessment systems with expertise, staff identify the specific next steps in pupils’ learning.”
