Dear Parents/Carers,
The Phonics Screening Check for Year 1 children will take place during the week of Monday 9 June.
The Phonics Screening Check contains 40 words divided into two sections. Both sections contain a mixture of real words and pseudo-words. As part of this assessment, children are asked to independently read each word to a teacher.
You can help your child prepare for their Phonics Screening Check by practising the letter sounds (phonics) which they have learned throughout Reception and Year 1.
For your reference an example from the assessment has been included below.
Further information on phonics screening can be sourced on the gov.uk website:
