This 2017 edition of Read Write Inc. Fresh Start rescues pupils aged 9 and above who are below age-related expectations, using a phonics-based approach.
Read Write Inc. Fresh Start gives older pupils who have not yet cracked the 'code of reading' the chance to catch up and become confident, fluent readers and writers - enabling them to access the secondary curriculum.
The Modules are specially written to help students to catch up on and develop their reading and writing skills, featuring engaging age-appropriate texts that are appealing to all students. Each Module contains a fiction or non-fiction text and a range of step-by-step writing and comprehension activities to build skills and confidence. Sounds and graphemes taught during the phonics lessons are reinforced through further practice in the Modules.

`I like everything about the new program, the children enjoy and feel confident with the structure of the current program and would move effortlessly to the new structure recognising that there are a few changes but the basis of the program remains the same. I like the fact that the program links more with the current curriculum.' Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School, Oxfordshire

`The teaching notes are more prescriptive, clear and concise and they make the planning of lessons much easier.' Romilly Primary School, Barry

`These activities are perfect. They provide excellent SAT-type practice questions for grammar and cover what was in Edit 2 in a much better way. The content for the writing and the range of genre are equally perfect.' Ince Church of England Primary School, Wigan

`The level of success in reading, spelling and comprehension the children have achieved has been truly amazing.' Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School, Oxfordshire
