Read Write Inc. Phonics: Sun Hat Fun Book 1a - Hardcover

Read Write Inc. actually teaches children to read and write. We love using this programme because children achieve so much co quickly. They want to read and write. It's the best literacy programme we have ever known. (Lorna Jackson, Headteacher, Maryland Primary School)

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 Books 1a and 1b 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

Sun hat fun, Book 1a, includes the following phonically decodable story-rhymes:
1. Sun hat fun
2. Pop!
3. This cat
4. Gus

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

It is recommended that parents use the RWI Phonics Speed Sound Flashcards Set 1 to practice before and alongside children reading any of the RWI story books.

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.
