Read Write Inc. Fresh Start is a specially adapted literacy programme for all students in Years 5 and above who are working below National Curriculum Level 3. Like Read Write Inc. Phonics for pupils in the early years, the scheme starts with phonics lessons which introduce students to all the letter sounds through use of the Speed Sounds Cards and the Green and Red Word Cards. The Modules are specially written to help students to catch up on and develop their reading and writing skills. Each Module provides practice of the graphemes and sounds that have been taught in phonics lessons. There is a fiction or non-fiction text and a variety of comprehension and writing activities. The Modules should be completed sequentially, with the Introductory Module first, followed by the other 33 Modules.
This collection of modules addresses the critical need for remedial literacy instruction among students in Year 5 and above who are performing below expected national standards.
