This is the teacher's handbook introducing Read Write Inc. Phonics - a synthetic phonics reading scheme. It contains step-by-step guidance on implementing the programme, including teaching notes for lessons, assessment, timetables, matching charts and advice on classroom management and developing language comprehension through talk.

Read Write Inc. Fresh Start is a specially adapted literacy programme for all pupils in Years 5, 6 and 7 who are working below National Curriculum level 3. Like Read Write Inc. Phonics for pupils in the early years, the scheme starts by introducing pupils to all the letter sounds through use of the Speed Sounds cards and the green and red flashcards. Once they can sound-blend, they can proceed to the modules. Pupils progress through these sets of workbooks at their own pace, after they have completed the Introductory module. The modules include both fiction and non-fiction texts and cover a range of cross-curricular topics. Practise in writing, spelling, editing and comprehension is provided at every level.

Understanding Reading revolutionized reading research and theory when the first edition appeared in 1971 and continues to be a leader in the field. In the sixth edition of this classic text, Smith's purpose remains the same: to shed light on fundamental aspects of the complex human act of reading--linguistic, physiological, psychological, and social--and on what is involved in learning to read. The text critically examines current theories, instructional practices, and controversies, covering a wide range of disciplines but always remaining accessible to students and classroom teachers. Careful attention is given to the ideological clash that continues between whole language and direct instruction and currently permeates every aspect of theory and research into reading and reading instruction. To aid readers in making up their own minds, each chapter concludes with a brief statement of "Issues." Understanding Reading: A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Reading and Learning to Read, Sixth Edition is designed to serve as a handbook for language arts teachers, a college text for basic courses on the psychology of reading, a guide to relevant research on reading, and an introduction to reading as an aspect of thinking and learning. It is matchless in integrating a wide range of topics relative to reading while, at the same time, being highly readable and user-friendly for instructors, students, and practitioners.
