Reading and Phonics

Welcome to our dedicated page on Reading and Phonics at Dunn Street Primary. We are committed to providing a robust foundation in literacy for all our pupils, ensuring they acquire the essential skills needed to thrive in their academic journeys and beyond. A key component of our literacy programme is the Read Write Inc phonics scheme, designed to foster strong reading and writing abilities from an early age.

At Whitburn Village Primary, we understand the importance of parental involvement in children's education. The Read Write Inc program not only supports children in becoming fluent readers but also gives them the confidence to explore writing independently. Our teachers are highly trained in delivering this programme, ensuring that each child receives the attention and tailored instruction they need to progress.

We encourage parents to engage with their children's reading journey at home. To support this, we offer various resources and workshops that explain the Read Write Inc strategies and provide practical advice on how to assist your children. Together, we can build a strong literacy foundation, empowering our pupils to achieve their full potential.
