  9. How are the checks administered? • Low-key, no fuss, not made into a big thing. • The check comprises of a list of 40 words and non-words. • Half the words cover phonics skills which tend to be covered in Reception, and half the words are based on Year 1 phonics skills. • Your child needs to read the words to their teacher.

  10. Examples of words Non – words are included because they will be new to all pupils, so there won’t be a bias to those with a good vocabulary knowledge or visual memory of words.
