Phonic Screening Check

In the summer term, all Year 1 pupils are assessed on their ability to apply their phonetic knowledge to read words. This is carried out using the Phonic Screening Check, which consists of a mixture of 40 words; some real words and some made-up words. All the words are phonetically decodable. (No tricky words are included) 

You may also wish to look at some sample materials and a video showing how the check is marked. This can be found here:
