At SJH, we believe in the importance of supporting your child's reading journey at home. By incorporating the Read Write Inc. (RWI) Phonics strategies, you can significantly enhance your child's literacy skills.

Reading together not only strengthens their understanding of sounds and letters but also fosters a love for books. We encourage you to set aside some time each day for reading their decodable storybook with your child. This can be found in their book bag and online on Oxford Owl - Oxford Owl for School and Home.

When using RWI strategies, focus on blending sounds to read words, encouraging your child to sound out unfamiliar words independently using ‘Fred talk’. Ask them questions about the story to develop their comprehension skills.

Together, we can create a robust foundation for your child's reading development. Your involvement is vital in nurturing their confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Thank you for your partnership in this important journey.
