The One-to-one Phonics Tutoring Handbook will support children who are in danger of falling behind with their reading, are behind their peers, or new to a school and need to catch up. Greater emphasis is placed on practice of Assisted blending for children who are struggling to move from reading isolated sounds to words. Speed Sounds Sets 2 and 3 are introduced slowly to ensure the child can read them confidently before encountering them in the Storybooks. Clear guidance on assessment is provided alongside detailed lesson plans. Advice on troubleshooting is included to help children who struggle to say a sound or children who are sound-blending for too long. Additional support is available on Read Write Inc. Phonics Online, which includes over 30 video clips showing how to teach each stage of reading, as well as guidance on how to say pure sounds. The One-to-one Phonics Tutoring Handbook is part of the One-to-one Phonics Tutoring Kit, which is part of the wider Read Write Inc. Phonics programme, developed by Ruth Miskin. The programme is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers. It includes Handbooks, Sounds Cards, Word Cards, Storybooks, Non-fiction, Writing books and an Online resource. Read Write Inc. is supported by comprehensive professional development from Ruth Miskin Training.

This book is aimed at children in primary school. This reading book uses the phonics method. This approach concentrates on teaching children how to map between sounds and spellings, allowing them to decode written words into their constituent sounds. Phonics skill thus involves being able to split the written word 'cat' into the phonemes /k/, /a/, /t/, and to map from letter 'c' to phoneme /k/, from letter 'a' to phoneme /ae/ and from letter 't' to phoneme /t/. Decoding skill is useful when reading unfamiliar words which use regular spelling sequences.
