Phonics screening W/c 12th June
• Takes place during the week of 12th-16th June 2017
• The screening check will identify children who have phonic decoding skills below the level expected for the end of year 1 and who therefore need addition support. The screening check ensures that teachers understand which children need support with decoding
• There are 40 words - 20 real and 20 nonsense ( some examples later in this presentation)
• The screening is carried out individually with each child by the class teacher. It should be an enjoyable activity for a child, which will take no more than 15 minutes. There will be a few practise words at the beginning to make sure your child understands the activity
• Results are reported to parents by letter and submitted to the Department for Education in July
• If a child does not meet the threshold in year 1, support is put in place and they will retake the screening at the end of year 2

What can you do to help your child at home?
• There are a number of things that parents can do to support early reading development
• Let your child see you enjoy reading yourself. They are influenced by you and what you do!
• Immerse your child in a love of reading
• Make time for your child to read their school book to you
• With all books, encourage your child to ‘sound out’ unfamiliar words and then blend from left to right rather than just looking at pictures to guess
• Encourage your child to ‘sound out’ when writing, blending from blend from left to right. Focusing particularly on spotting more unusual sound patterns.
– Digraph- 2 letters making one sound - rain
– Trigraph- 3 letters making one sound - night
– Split Digraph- 2 vowels with a consonant in between. You may have called it magic e. – spine - i_e
– Use phonics when you speak: “It’s time to go to b-e-d.”
• There are lots of phonic games available for children to access on the computer
• Remember, we are here to help your child achieve their very best
• If you have any questions please ask Mrs Barber (English leader), or your child’s class Teacher or TA
• We are always happy to help!
