6 Phonics Screening Check
Phonics screening was brought in by the Government after a pilot in 2011 It is a statutory test. Children in Year 1 must take part in the screening. Children who did not meet the pass mark in Year 1 will take it in Year 2. The screening takes place for a week in June. It is a list of 40 words and non-words (pseudo). The pass mark is not released until Monday 29th June.

7 Example of the Screening

8 We call the words with no pictures real words and they make sense
We call the non-words (pseudo words) – alien words. They sound silly and are the alien’s name.

9 Phonics at Westminster.
At Westminster we monitor the teaching of phonics and the progress all the children are making. Miss Barlow regularly conducts a mock Phonics Screening Check with Year 1 and Year 2 children.

10 What can you do to help? Encourage your child to sound out the phonemes (sounds) in a word Digraph – cow, coat, rain Trigraph – night Split vowel digraph - time

11 Please remember that phonics is not the only strategy needed to become a fluent reader.
Continue to segment and blend words. Re-read words or the sentence to make sure it makes sense. Use pictures for clues to aid reading. Ask questions and talk about what has been read. ENJOY!!!!!

12 Before you leave please see Miss Barlow or Miss Hope about how your child has progressed in Phonics and what you can do at home to help them with the Phonics Screening Check. The Phonics Screening Check is only in a few days. Please practise at home!
