Here in Year 1 we love phonics and use any opportunity to learn new sounds and words, this is preparing us for the Phonics screening check in June.
The Phonics screening check is a compulsory assessment that all children in Year 1 in England must take. It is used to assess a students phonic decoding skills. The 40 words in the check are split into sections progressing from simple word structures to trickier words with five or six letters.
