Read Write Inc – Sets 1, 2, 3

Read Write Inc – Set 1

First, pupils will learn to read:

– Set 1 Speed Sounds: these are sounds written with one letter.
– Set 1 sounds written with two letters (‘special friends’).
Simple words containing these sounds, by sound-blending.
– Read words in carefully levelled Red, Green and Purple Storybooks.

Set 1 sounds:

Each sound is linked to a picture hook and short rhyme to help the children learn and remember them.

Clear pronunciation of sounds is extremely important. This video will demonstrate how to say sounds clearly.

How to say sounds

Learning to blend simple sounds:

– Pupils will learn to read words containing Set 1 Speed Sounds by blending sounds together to create words. We call this ‘Fred Talk’.

The below video explains the process of teaching blending and Fred Talk.

Sound blending

Read Write Inc – Set 2

Once pupils know all their single sounds, some simple ‘special friends’ and have learnt to blend simple words, they will now learn:

– To read and recognise Set 2 Speed Sounds:
ay ee igh ow oo oo ar or air ir ou oy
– To read words containing these sounds.
– Read a wider range of ‘red words’ (words that have ‘tricky letters’).
– To read Pink, Orange and Yellow Storybooks, building speed and fluency.

Each sound is linked to a picture hook and a rhyme to help the children learn and remember the sounds.

Read Write Inc – Set 3

By set 3 pupils are now growing in reading ability and confidence. In Set 3, they will learn to:
– Read Set 3 Speed Sounds:
ea oi a-e i-e o-e u-e aw are ur er ow ai oa ew ire ear ure
– Read words containing these new sounds.
– Read further ‘Red words’ that cannot be read using phonic skills.
– Read Blue and Grey Storybooks with increasing speed.

Each sound is linked with a picture and rhyme to help the children learn and remember them.
