[senco-forum] RML now read write inc

can those of you who use this help me out...
do you use the main rml with sen kids or the fresh start. (i'm primary, 
mostly working with y3-y6)
are the work books just another phonic scheme, what's special?
do they link into the literacy hour text level work  in any way?
Is the writing part free standing or part of the reading....
I probably should go on the training and get all these questions 
answered, but if we do that we wont be able to afford any books!
