Year 1 Phonic Screening Check 2016

What is the Phonic Screening Check? A short test that is usually taken by all Year 1 children in June Checks their ability to read phonetically decodable words, including ‘alien’ or nonsense words There are no ‘tricky’ words
3
What does the test look like? 20 real words and 20 ‘alien’ words Nonsense words have an alien picture Words become progressively harder Usually finishes with some 2 syllable words
4
What phonic knowledge does my child need? Phase 3 – Simple digraphs such as ‘ai’ ‘er’, ‘ear’ Phase 4 – Consonant clusters such as cl, str, nk, lp Phase 5 – Alternative spellings for the Ph3 digraphs - sound ‘families’ e.g. ai / ay / a_e or / aw / au / ore Phase 5 new consonant digraphs – wh and ph Words in the screener may use a combination of these.

How is the screener assessed? Scored out of 40 but schools are not told the pass mark! In past screeners the threshold mark was 32 The data is reported to county and to parents at the end of the year
10
What if my child does not meet the threshold mark? Children do develop at different rates and some will not yet be at the appropriate level The test does not really tell us anything we do not already know! If children do not meet the threshold, they will continue to receive support in Year 2 and will re-sit the screener
11
How are you supporting my child at school? All children have a 25 minute phonic session everyday, tailored to their level Some children receive additional small group or 1:1 support Guided/individual reading using phonically decodable books Focus on phonics for writing Phonic games and challenges
12
How can I support my child at home? As with all areas of the curriculum, children need regular practice to develop their skills Read regularly at least 4x week Use Bug Club as a resource as all of these texts are phonically based Use website such as www.phonicsplay.co.ukwww.phonicsplay.co.uk Complete any phonic challenge home work
