Parents
Many parents are very keen to use Read Write Inc. with their children
at home to help them get reading - FAST!
Ruth Miskin has now created a series of Read Write Inc. Phonics
Storybooks especially for parents to use at home, alongside a Parent's
Handbook and set of Phonics Flashcards. This series helps parents
support their child's reading development by reinforcing what he or she
is learning at school in a fun and structured way. If your child is
following the programme at school, your child's class teacher will also
be very happy to help you. Please read the attached letter below that
will also give you help:

What will I need to order?
Start by buying Set 1 Speed Sound cards and a picture alphabet-sound
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. You can choose
between the books in colour, or black and white.

As your child progresses through the programme you may then like to
order further materials such as:
- Speed Sounds Set 2 and 3
- The vowel picture frieze
- Further sets of books
