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.

This new edition of Read Write Inc. Fresh Start rescues pupils aged 9 and above who are below age-related expectations, using a phonics-based approach. The Modules are specially written to help students to catch up on and develop their reading and writing skills.

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 More Anthologies provide extra reinforcement of the sounds and graphemes taught in the Fresh Start Modules and Anthologies. They contain a variety of lively non-fiction, poetry and fiction texts, including quizzes, playscripts and comic strips to motivate thestudents to read for pleasure.The More Anthology texts should be read after each Module and related Anthology text is completed, to ensure students are reading within their phonic knowledge and experience success in reading. The subjects of the More Anthology texts are linked to the Anthology and Module texts so that some of thevocabulary students meet will be familiar, which supports independent reading.
