1 YEAR 1 PHONICS CHECK

2 WHAT IS THE PHONICS SCREENING CHECK? Children in Year 1 throughout the country will all be taking part in a phonics screening check during the same week in June (week beginning 13 th June), if children are absent this week then the check can be carried out the following week. It must be taken by 24 th June. Children in Year 2 will also take the check if they did not achieve the required result when in Year 1 or if they have not taken the test before. The phonics screening check is designed to confirm whether individual children have learnt phonic decoding and blending skills to an appropriate standard

3 WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE TEST? The check contains 40 words and is very similar to tasks the children already complete during phonics lessons. Each child will sit one-to-one and read each word aloud to a teacher. Children will be asked to ‘sound out’ a word and blend the sounds together, eg. d-o-g = dog The focus of the check is to see which sounds the children know and therefore the children will be asked to read pseudo words (nonsense/made up words). The list of words the children read is a combination of 20 real words and 20 pseudo words (nonsense words). The test will take approximately 10 minutes per child, although all children are different and will complete the check at their own pace.

4 PSEUDO WORDS The pseudo words will be shown to your child with a picture of an alien. This provides the children with a context for the pseudo word which is independent from any existing vocabulary they may have. Pseudo words are included because they will be new to all pupils; they do not favour children with a good vocabulary knowledge or visual memory of words.

5 RESULTS We do not find out the threshold mark until after data has been submitted. Results from the check will be used by schools to analyse their own performance and for Ofsted to use in inspections. We will inform you if your child has or has not met the expected standard (normally on report at end of year). If your child does not meet the expected standard then they will re-take the phonics check in year 2.

6 HOW CAN YOU HELP? Play lots of sound and listening games with your child. Read as much as possible to and with your child. Digraph- 2 letters making one sound cow Trigraphs- 3 letters making one sound night Split digraphs- 2 vowels with a consonant inbetween. spine - i_e Encourage and praise – get them to have a ‘good guess’.

7 If your child is struggling to decode a word, help them by encouraging them to say each sound in the word from left to right. Blend the sounds by pointing to each one, e.g. /c/ in cat, /p/ in pat, /ng/ in sing, /ee/ in been. Next move your finger under the whole word as you say it. Discuss the meaning of words if your child does not know what they have read. Children can practise their phonics by playing online games. The children like using phonics play. http://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/BuriedTreasure2.html

8 LAST BUT NOT LEAST…. Do not make a big deal about the check. The more you mention it the more anxious children can get. There is no need for children to be worried, they have carried out activities like the check many times. It is NOT a test but a check to see which children need extra phonics support next year.
