Read Write Inc.: My Reading and Writing Kit: Becoming a reader

My daughter uses Read Write Inc. system at her preschool, we got these books and the other sets so we could use it at home. It's a great phonics system. These stories are simple, but effective. The reading comprehension quiz at the end is a great idea. The books progress in difficulty and length. There are other more advanced colored books as well. Look at the read write inc website for more details. It is a british system and company so likely not used much in US schools.

Totally false advertising - only received one book. There is no kit. This is the most disappointing purchase as the kit would have been very useful with the flashcards etc. Would never pay so much for just one book. Very disappointing. Would like a complete refund.

I received only one book which arrived on Dec 13th and I thought they might come later soon but I was wrong. It's too pricey even I bought used item and get only one book.

We wanted to support our child using the same materials as she does as school. Oxford Owl phonics are great and the instructions.in this lovely pack are very clear. It was nice to support our child at home rather than confuse by teaching something completely different.

The Third kit in the ReadWrite Inc. parent kits is focused on helping your child become a reader and includes: - Six storybooks with sped sounds, green and red words before the stories (3 green level with 2 stories in each and 3 purple level - 1 story in each); - Phonics flashcards with set 2 sounds; - Handwriting book to practice the set 2 sounds and cover some of the stories in the books; - Parent handbook with detailed information on how to use the kit. I use this kit with my 5-year-old to help her catch up when she cannot attend school and the instructions in the parent handbook are very useful in that. Unfortunately, this is the last kit in the series and it does not cover the set 3 sounds.

Good for year 1 British curriculum

I purchased these for over the summer to do with my daughter. Absolutely love them! My daughter recognises the books and methods. We are familiar with Read Write Inc structure, but even for someone who isn't familiar, they are super easy to follow along, prompts all the way through, even a parent handbook. Even places where children can mark off their progress.

This is great value for money, it has kept my 5 year old busy during the summer holidays where he’s been able to practice his writing and gave a good range of green and purple phonic books to read to keep practicing his reading skills.
