Welcome to Our Phonics Resource Page
At South Petherwin Primary school, we use the Read Write Inc. (RWI) program to help every child become a confident and enthusiastic reader. This page offers resources and tips to support phonics learning at home, reinforcing what your child learns in school.
Explore our materials to make reading fun and rewarding.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher, Mrs Palmer or Mr Avery!
Red words - What Are Red Words in Read Write Inc.?
Red Words are words that cannot be sounded out easily using phonics. These words often have unusual spellings or tricky parts that don’t follow standard phonetic rules. For example, words like said, what, and who are Red Words because their pronunciation doesn’t match their spelling patterns.
Children learn to recognise Red Words by sight, helping them read more fluently and confidently. We encourage you to practice these words at home by pointing them out in books or using flashcards to make learning fun.
Remember, the more your child sees and uses Red Words in context, the more naturally they will remember them! The links below will direct you to virtual classroom videos for red words.

Reading cafe
We are excited to offer a reading cafe in the reception of our school. In addition to the children's RWI bookbag books children and parents/ carers/ family members are welcome to make use of the range of texts we have in our reading cafe. Ensuring we have a true love of reading is vital to our school. We are always looking to add more books to our book shelves if anyone has any they would like to donate.
