When we give every child the best start in their early years, we give them what they need today.
We also set them up with every chance of success tomorrow.”

Learning in Reception
Read Write Inc
What we do
At Churchend Primary Academy we follow Read Write Inc Phonics to give your child the best possible start with their reading and literacy.
What is Read Write Inc?
Read Write Inc is a phonics programme which helps all children learn to read fluently and at speed so they can focus on developing their skills in comprehension, vocabulary and spelling. The programme is designed for children aged 4-7. However, we will continue teaching Read Write Inc to children beyond the age of 7 if they still need support in their reading. Read Write Inc was developed by Ruth Miskin.
Mastering Number
In reception we follow a program called Mastering Number. The Mastering Number program from the National Centre for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics (NCETM) is designed to help children in Reception and Key Stage 1 develop a strong understanding of numbers and fluency with number facts.
