Teaching reading through synthetic phonics is at the heart of the government's education policy for primary schools. The Read Write Inc. One-to-one Phonics Tutoring Kit provides the resources and guidance needed to offer one-to-one tuition to children who are at risk of falling behind with their reading, or are behind their peers, or are new to a school and need to catch up. This will ensure that these children are caught before they fall behind and that every child can read by age 6. The Kit includes the following new resources: * A Professional Development DVD and Handbook providing straightforward, structured guidance on how to use the resources as effectively as possible as well as focused training instruction, assessment and progress tracking, and detailed lesson plans and timetables. * Four levelled Progress Books containing sound and word lists providing revision and reinforcement of the sounds and graphemes that children have been introduced to at each stage. * One to one Word Cards - Green: essential high frequency words children need to learn It also includes all the essential Read Write Inc. Phonics resources needed to deliver the tutoring including: * Speed Sounds Cards * Red Word Cards * Red Ditty Books Plus a complete set of storybooks (75 in all) covering each reading level.

This book is aimed at children in primary school. This book is part of a reading scheme, meaning that it is a book aimed at children who are learning to read. This reading book uses the Synthetic phonics method. (This can also be referred to as 'blended phonics' or 'inductive phonics'). A phonics 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. In Synthetic Phonics, children are taught to sound and blend from the start of reading tuition. Children are taught a small group of letter sounds and then shown how these can be co-articulated to pronounce unfamiliar words. Other groups of letters are then taught and the children blend them in order to pronounce new words. The pronunciation of the word is discovered through sounding and blending, and spelling by mapping sounds to letters. Consonant blends that cannot be read by blending are explicitly taught.
