Read Write Inc. Fresh Start is a catch-up and intervention programme, with proven results, for 9–13 year olds still learning to read. Developed by Ruth Miskin, Read Write Inc. Fresh Start uses a proven phonics-based approach and:
- engages students with high-interest, age-appropriate reading materials.
- accelerates students’ progress with finely levelled Modules, supplemented by age-appropriate Anthologies.
- includes a clear structure to help you fit Fresh Start into your timetable, with step-by-step teacher guidance and detailed lesson plans that integrate all reading activities.
Fresh Start can be delivered flexibly, depending on the number of students who need it in your school, and the number of staff you have available to teach it.
The Resources:
Teacher Handbook
The handbook offers guidance on how to identify students who would benefit from the programme and how to assess them at each stage. Detailed notes show how to teach the Speed Sounds so that students can begin to read the texts and complete the activities in the Fresh Start Modules.
Also includes advice on how to organise Fresh Start in your class or school as well as full guidance on how to timetable and teach each Module in the programme.
Module Pupil Workbooks
Each of the 34 Module workbooks contain a fiction or non-fiction text, providing practice in the sounds and graphemes taught in the phonics lessons. The texts are carefully matched to the students’ phonic level. Students read and discuss the text several times, developing comprehension and fluency.
Each Module also contains a range of activities which develop students’ ability in spelling, punctuation and writing answers to comprehension questions.
Anthology Reading Books
Seven full-colour Anthologies in a lively magazine-style format provide further phonic practice, at home and at school.
- Include a variety of lively nonfiction, poetry, and fiction texts to engage even the most reluctant readers.
- Encourage pupils to read for pleasure with full colour texts including quizzes, playscripts, and comic strips to enjoy.
- Fully integrated within the Fresh Start programme and support teachers with effective lesson planning and organisation.
