| | Welcome back to the Ruth Miskin Training newsletter.
I hope you’re all excited about the new term - another year to get even more children reading by the end of Year 1. Schools have so much success with our simple ‘APC' plan - Assessing every half term to check children are reading at their 'Goldilocks spot', practising with and coaching reading teachers every week. Do come on our Reading Leader Training to ensure you reach every child.
This is a very exciting year for us – Read Write Inc. will be reaching more children than ever with Teaching and Leadership Innovation Funding, MyBookBlog is spreading across the country inspiring children to love reading, and we have some exciting new online content in the pipeline. |

NEW: Read Write Inc. Fresh Start Assessment |
|
| | The updated pupil assessment in the new Read Write Inc. Fresh Start Handbook is simple and easy to use. The Handbook contains all the instructions you need (p14 - p22), and you can access the Pupil Progress Tracker as a free download from the Ruth Miskin Training School Portal. The assessment includes individual records and detailed grouping guidance. Use the same assessment to re-assess pupils every 6-8 weeks.
Fresh Start no longer has any nonsense words. |

Read Write Inc. Fresh Start Practice Films |
|
| | We have removed all the Fresh Start Practice Films from the portal that do not match the new publishing. We have already added some new films starring our wonderful new Model Teacher team, and will add more throughout the year.
These films will be available on the Ruth Miskin Training School Portal to all schools with an active subscription. In the meantime, some of our schools have started making their own videos to use in their practice sessions. We love this idea! |
