Before that though, what do the tests consist of?
The check, tests students on their knowledge of the phonics skills they’ve learnt throughout the year, to see whether their phonic decoding skills are at an appropriate standard, as outlined by the Standards & Testing Agency.
As it’s a compulsory test, we feel it’s important that teachers have a range of resources to help their students prepare for the check.
Read on for some EducationCity Activities that can be found in our English module, within KS1 (or your region’s equivalent), which your students might find handy to help them prepare…
