6. Example text from a turquoise level reading book
“The litter queen”

7. This is equivalent to securely reading and comprehending a Turquoise level book. Part of reading is linked to the decoding (use of phonics to read) of the text. In June all Year 1 children in England take a Phonics Test reading real and alien words. Along with learning and using more complex sounds, the children are expected to read (not sound out) “common exception words”.
