Helping Your Child to Learn

Read Write Inc	At Stubbin Wood School we use phonics to help our students to read - we use Ruth Miskin to support this. Please click this link to find out more about Read Write Inc. Phonics, the programme we use to help students across school learn to read and write. As well as an information video, designed to help parents understand how Read, Write Inc. Phonics works, you will also find links to daily phonics lessons that support children to develop their reading skills whilst working from home, as well as some fantastic story and poetry reading sessions for you all to enjoy. Please contact your child’s teacher if you require advice as to which set of sounds they are currently working on.
Virtual Schools Library	Every week a popular children's author or illustrator will provide you with free books, exclusive videos and their top three recommended reads. Having access to a school library is really important for children. School libraries nurture a love of reading that can enrich children’s literacy skills, academic achievements and mental wellbeing. Our Virtual School Library will complement existing school libraries and will ensure that children have access to the magical world of stories all year round, whether they are learning at school or at home. We’ve worked with brilliant publishers and inspiring authors and illustrators to ensure that the books and activities in our Virtual School Library will support children’s wellbeing through reading.

Widgit	We have put together a collection of tools and ready-made materials to help parents, teachers and carers who use symbols to support their children and young people. Students at Stubbin Wood are very familiar with these symbols, and you might find that it's helpful to develop your own or to use the ones we use to support learning. Widgit Software
