The government have proposed that Year 2 children will take a phonics screening test in Autumn 2 this year because they missed it in Year 1 due to the Coronavirus. This is subject to legislation.
Should this go ahead the children will read 40 words. 20 of these words will be real words and 20 nonsense/alien words that are made up. The words will contain most of the sounds children have learned in phonics, up to and including phase 5. The sounds are below:
Please help your child to prepare for this by revising these sounds.
The children will be screened on a past paper. More information about this will be given by the Year 2 staff on return to school.
To look at some examples and practise reading some past papers, please follow the link and scroll
