Read Write Inc. Phonics has had a massive impact on our phonic results, raising them from 56% to 96%. All of our staff enjoy using the programme, including our teaching assistants, who feel it has empowered them. We are all amazed and delighted at the difference it has made to teaching and learning in our school. Joan Cullen, Head Teacher, Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, Luton Read Write Inc. Phonics is effective because of the speed in which the children are able to make progress. There is a very clear structure and children are empowered to succeed because of the systematic and rigorous approach. Katherine Roberts, Reading Manager, Elmhurst Primary School, Newham As a Head Teacher, its wonderful to have such confidence in a programme that you know no child will leave Key Stage 1 as a poor reader. How amazing is that! Jacqueline Savage, Principal, Outwood Primary Academy Lofthouse Gate, Wakefield
