Phonics Screen Check

 

The phonics screening check is an informal test that children will need to complete at the end of year 1. During the test, which is designed to test their ability to decode words using their phonics knowledge, children will be required to read a mixture of 40 real and nonsense words.

 

Here is a useful guide for Parents:

Information for parents

Here you can access a range of mock phonic screening papers that were shared at the parent meeting held in school.

These will give examples of the type of real and alien words the children will encounter in the Year 1 Phonic Screening.
