[senco-forum] RML now read write inc

I would agree with everything everyone has said about RML.  I use it at  KS3 with children who come to us at L3 or below.  We introduced it last  year and the results impressed the LA SEN Inspector!  

    Using it with training is undoubtedly the best way, but if you have a  secure understanding of synthetic phonics principles (and study the  Handbook that goes with the programme) it is straightforward to teach.   It is very comprehensive, covering word & sentence level work, lots  of reading, spelling, genre texts & creative writing. Surely that  must hit most of the literacy objectives?  Anyway, the Framework is  just about to change, so you may not feel so constrained in the future.

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!
