The Get Writing! Books contain a wide range of writing activities which are closely linked to the Storybooks and selected Non-fiction books. Children's writing is supported at every step from writing simple sentences to extended texts, including invitations, letters, descriptive texts and non-fiction texts. Longer composition activities are based on a new six-step process with lots of oral rehearsal and role play so children are full of ideas before they write. Check boxes throughout the books prompt children to proofread and review their writing, helping them to make sustained progress. The books are part of the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme, developed by Ruth Miskin. The programme is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers. It includes Handbooks, Sounds Cards, Word Cards, Storybooks, Non-fiction, Writing books and an Online resource. Read Write Inc. is fully supported by comprehensive professional development from Ruth Miskin Training to ensure its easy implementation.

Reviews
Read Write Inc. Phonics has had a massive impact on our phonic results, raising them from 56% to 96%. All of our staff enjoy using the programme, including our teaching assistants, who feel it has empowered them. We are all amazed and delighted at the difference it has made to teaching and learning in our school. * Joan Cullen, Head Teacher, Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, Luton *
Read Write Inc. Phonics is effective because of the speed in which the children are able to make progress. There is a very clear structure and children are empowered to succeed because of the systematic and rigorous approach. * Katherine Roberts, Reading Manager, Elmhurst Primary School, Newham *
As a Head Teacher, its wonderful to have such confidence in a programme that you know no child will leave Key Stage 1 as a poor reader. How amazing is that! * Jacqueline Savage, Principal, Outwood Primary Academy Lofthouse Gate, Wakefield *
