At Barkston Ash Catholic Primary School we aim to provide high quality teaching and learning experiences which result not only in the children becoming skilled and fluent readers, but also in them developing a lifelong love of reading.  

Read Write Inc (which is a Government approved phonics scheme) is a systematic approach to teaching and developing early reading . Our children are immersed in an environment which is rich in sounds and vocabulary right from the first day in Reception, which ensures that they are prepared with the necessary resources and strategies for reading from the very start of their learning journey.
