Daily Phonics Lessons
At St Mary's we teach our children phonics using the Read Write Inc (RWI) lessons. To enable children to continue their phonics journey at home the creators of RWI are going to be offering online daily lessons. They will add a new film every day, Monday to Friday.
Each film will then be available for 24 hours via FB and on YouTube.
