Year One phonics screening
test
In June every Year 1 child will be
expected to take part in a phonics
screening test. Within school we
administer the test in such a way that it
is normal for the children and they don’t
realise they are being tested.
The test consists of real and nonsense
(alien) words. The children are expected
to sound each word out and then read
it. The past few years have seen the
Decodin
game
