Read Write Inc. Fresh Start is for all students in Years 5 and above who are working below National Curriculum Level 3. Like Read Write Inc. Phonics for pupils in the early years, the scheme starts with phonics lessons which introduce students to all the letter sounds through use of the Speed Sounds Cards and the Green and Red Word Cards.

The Modules are specially written to help students to catch up on and develop their reading and writing skills. Each Module provides practice of the graphemes and sounds that have been taught in phonics lessons. There is a fiction or non-fiction text and a variety of comprehension and writing activities. The Modules should be completed sequentially, with the Introductory Module first, followed by the other 33 Modules.

Read Write Inc. Comprehension is the next step in developing children's composition and writing skills once they have become confident readers. Children work through 30 weekly modules, specially written to link reading and writing activities to carefully levelled texts. This clear and detailed handbook provides full support and guidance on implementing the scheme in the classroom, including suggested timetables. Blueprint lesson plans are included for teaching the
activities which provide practice in reading, writing and spelling, and consolidate the pupils' knowledge through comprehension and guided composition. Suggested routes through the modules, and synopses of all the associated texts are also included.
