Read Write Inc.: Red Word Cards (READ WRITE INC PHONICS)

Product Information

Before you start to teach your child, practice saying the sounds below. These are the sounds we use to speak in English.Children initially begin using pictures for each sound, this will help children recognise the sound and then form the shape of the sound. Within all the RWI sessions/books children will be exposed to redand greenwords to learn to help them to become speedy readers. Redwords are words that are not easily decodable and challenge words to extend children’s vocabulary. Greenwords are linked to the sounds they have been learning and are easily decodable.

Children follow the same format as Reception but will work on complex sounds and read books appropriate to their reading level. Daily sessions of RWI phonics last for one hour. Most children should complete the programme by the end ofyear 2 if not earlier.

Additional Sounds

The approach is based on the Orton-Gillingham methodology and focuses on explicit, direct instruction that is sequential, structured, and multi-sensory.

During the RWI session children will read the book three times and at each new reading they will have plenty of opportunities to practise using their developing comprehension skills. You may have heard your child talking about ‘ hold, edit or build a sentence’. Watch ‘ Read Red Words 1′ if your child is reading Red, Green, Purple, Pink or Orange Read Write Inc.Storybooks .As Grey Group have had all of the Red Words as spellings, they will now have multi-syllabic words for their weekly spellings. IMSE uses the term Red Word because the visual color red reminds students that these words are irregular. Lists of these words can be found on the Dolch List, Fry Instant Words, or in the index of many decodable readers. In Reception all children will learn how to ‘read’ the sounds in words and how those sounds can be written down. So, building the student’s sight word bank is a primary goal. For this to happen, students need good research-based instruction and ample opportunities for review and practice. Here are some Red Word essentials. Adopt an evidence-based instructional sequence However, to ensure that this is occurring, the review and practice step needs to be considered an essential part of Red Word learning. Practice definitely makes perfect here!

It is IMSE’s mission that all children must have the ability to read to fully realize their potential. We are committed to providing teachers with the knowledge and tools to prepare future minds. IMSE’s instructional sequence for learning a new Red Word teaches the students a systematic process engaging them in steps that integrate gross and fine motor movements, finger tracing, simultaneous verbalization, motor/muscle memory, writing, and short-term memory (digit span memory).

Red Word instruction is an essential part of the weekly Orton-Gillingham lessons. Irregular words make up a large percentage of words that students encounter in their reading and writing, making it essential to include them in daily practice to enhance automatic word recall.

Hold a sentenceis an activity that encourages children to remember a whole sentence while focusing on spelling and punctuation.

Looking for something different

The IMSE approach allows teachers to incorporate the five components essential to an effective reading program into their daily lessons: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Purpose– know the purpose of every activity and share it with the children, so they know the onething they should be thinking about When we encounter familiar words (i.e. sight words), our brains can recognize them in less than 1/20 th of a second. Skilled readers can recognize words accurately and automatically when reading, making decoding effortless and improving fluency and comprehension.
