  1. Harmans Water Phonics Screening 2014

  2. What is Phonics? • Children have 30mins daily discrete phonics lessons; • Children are taught to read by breaking down words into separate soundsor ‘phonemes’. They are then taught how to blendthese sounds together to read the whole word; • There are around 40 different sounds.

  3. What is the screening? • Every Year 1 child in the country will be taking a new statutory phonics screening check in the same week. • The check is very similar to tasks the children already complete during phonics lessons. • The focus of the check is to provide evidence of children’s decoding and blending skills, not to test their vocabulary.

  4. What will the children do? • Eac check will take 4 to 9 minutes to complete; • They will be asked to ‘sound out’ a word and blend the sounds together. e.g. d-o-g – dog • The check will consist of 40 words and non-words; • Children will be told if the word is a real or ‘alien’ word, with a corresponding alien image.

  6. How will it be administered? • Teachers will conduct all of the screening checks with the children; • The children will complete the check one to one in a quiet area of the school; • We are not permitted to indicate to the children at the time whether they have correctly sounded out and / or blended the word.

  7. And the results...? • The children will be scored against a national standard (Last year’s benchmark was 32/40) • We will inform you of whether they fall below or within this standard, and all children will receive a certificate for taking part. • If your child’s score falls below the national standard they can re-take the Phonics Screening Check in year 2.

  8. When will it happen? • The screening will take place throughout the week beginning • Monday 16th June. • It has been designed so that children of all abilities will be able to take part.

  9. How can you help? As part of Home Learning, encourage them to use their sounds and actions to find the sound they need. Children can practise their phonics by playing games online. Go to www.phonicsplay.co.uk * Buried Treasure * Picnic on Pluto

  10. How can you help? Encourage your child to ‘sound out’ when reading or writing. Focusing particularly on spotting more unusual sound patterns. Eg Digraph- 2 letters making one sound cow Trigraphs- 3 letters making one sound night Split digraphs- 2 vowels with a consonant inbetween. Use to be known as the magic e! spine - i_e

  11. How can you help? • REMEMBER: Phonics is not the only way you become a good reader. Continue to read with your child each night and encourage them to: • Sound out, re-read to check it makes sense, and use pictures for clues. • Ask questions about the book; • And most importantly ENJOY READING!
