The Read Write Inc. Phonics storybooks provide structured practice for children in decoding words and reading through phonics. Each set of books is carefully graded so children can read them with confidence.
Read Write Inc. Phonics storybooks help parents support their child by:

Using Ruth Miskin's successful tried-and-tested phonic methodology for reading success

Offering practical and effective advice in guiding their child through every story

Building confidence using fun and engaging stories with opportunities for talk and praise throughout

The structured phonic story-rhymes in Book 1e are written for parents to plan one-a-night achievable reading sessions with their child - great for busy parents!

Reading steps for success:

Practise reading the Speed Sounds before each story

Read the Red and Green words before each story

Read the story to decode every word

Re-read the story to reinforce meaning

Re-read the story for fluency

Fat frog Book 1e, includes the following phonically decodable story-rhymes:
1. Fat frog
2. Chips
3. On a log
4. I am sick

Every rhyming story uses artwork by Tim Archbold, who uses a style that has been likened to Quentin Blake's, which children love.

It is recommended that parents use the RWI Phonics Speed Sound Flashcards Set 1 and Sets 2 and 3 to practise before and alongside children reading any of the RWI storybooks.

RWI Level in Schools: Although these books have been created for the home market, they have been written to Red Level of the RWI school books.

The creator, Ruth Miskin, is currently involved in a series of nationwide training programmes for primary schools, commissioned by the UK government's Department for Education and Skills. Channel 4 is currently filming her using the RWI method in schools and she is becoming a well-known name both in school and at home. The TV documentary is currently due to air in October 2007.

Features

With its bank of decodable reading books, Read Write Inc. is the leading phonics teaching programme in primary schools
Speed Sounds - before reading the story children practice reading the key sounds they will need to read the words in the story
Red words - a few high frequency words that can't be 'sounded out' are shown in red in the story and children must learn these from sight
Green words - all other words written can be decoded so children can read them by sounding them out and have success in reading from the start
Engaging stories - Fun rhyming stories that children love to read with pictures to talk about
Lots of practice - practice at each level ensures children consolidate their learning
Praise - Opportunities for praise, to build children's confidence, throughout (including a star checklist in every book)
