Hi all
My DS had a letter in his bag from school today (he's in Year 1), saying they are all having a phonics screening next week. They have 40 real and pseudo words which they have to use their phonic skills to read. The pseudo words will be shown to children alongside pics of imaginary creatures. They have between 4 and 9 mins to complete it and it is going to be marked.
Have any of you had any experience with this, as I would like my son to be able to have a little practice ahead of the test, but there's no examples given.
Thanks everyone!
