  1. Phonics Meeting for Year 1 Parents

  2. Phonics Screening Check • Last year the DfE introduced a new level of statutory assessment for schools • Now, each year Year 1 children complete a statutory screening check which looks at their ability to use phonics for decoding and blending • The results are reported to the DfE via the Local Authority and to parents with the annual report

  3. When and Where • The screening has to be done in the week beginning Monday 17 June • It will take place in school (probably in the Sunshine room) and will be done by the class teacher • Each child will work individually with the teacher. It should take between four and nine minutes

  4. The Screening Material • The material to use with the children will arrive in school around the beginning of June. • It has to be locked away securely until needed. • We may not open it until 17 June. • We may be subject to a Local Authority visit to see that we are administering the screening check correctly

  5. The Screening Itself • The screening check is in two parts with 20 items in each part. • The check consists of both real words and nonsense words that can be decoded using the phonics skills the children have been taught.

  6. The Results • We will be given a threshold mark which will indicate the required standard for successfully completing the phonics screening. We don’t know what that will be yet but last year it was 32/40 • We will not report individual marks to the Local Authority, only whether or not each child has reached the required standard

  7. The Results • Those not reaching the required standard will have the chance to do the screening check again at the end of Year 2 • We will report the results to you with the annual report at the end of the summer term

  8. What’s in the Screening Check • Non – words, accompanied by a picture ot ect osk vap

  9. What’s in the Screening Check • Real Words – for instance shin day chill train phone

  10. What can you do to help • Keep the whole event low key – we shall! • Don’t worry about it! • Support your children at home as you do now with reading and spelling • Play word games with your children • Make sure you use pure sound when practising phonics • Don’t go on holiday in the weeks leading up to 17 June, apart from half term!

  11. Phoneme The sound that a letter or group of letters make. Vocabulary Digraph Two letters making one sound e.g. ch oa ee Grapheme The written representation of a phoneme. Split Digraph A digraph split by a consonant. e.g. Bike i-e Pete e-e Trigraph Three letters making one sound e.g. Igh / ure

  12. Remember • Sounds to be learnt and said correctly to enable children to read and spell accurately. • Keep the sound PURE – no extra ‘uh’ on the end! • See the film clip on the Learning Platform – www.school-portal.co.uk (Then T for Tardebigge and click on our school name)
