About the Phonics Screening Test Practice Papers (Ages 5-6)

Phonics Screening Test Practice Papers (Ages 5-6) gives Year 1 pupils three complete screening checks that mirror the official Phonics Screening Check used in schools across England. Designed by Scholastic and trusted by teachers and parents, this set of practice papers prepares your child for the real assessment, building familiarity with the format and boosting confidence before test day. Each check follows the same structure and standards as the national check, so there are no surprises when your child sits down in the classroom.

Inside you'll find three full practice checks, additional phonic activities to reinforce key sounds, and full answers with clear guidance on what examiners expect. The activities cover pseudo words—nonsense words used to test pure decoding skills—as well as real words, helping your child recognise blends, digraphs, and vowel patterns confidently. The step-by-step layout makes it easy to work through a check in one short session, review the answers together, and spot any sounds that need extra practice before moving on to the next test.

Regular practice with these papers helps your child approach the Phonics Screening Check calmly and prepared, knowing exactly what to expect. The clear instructions and authentic format mean you can replicate test conditions at home, turning a potentially worrying milestone into a manageable routine. By the time the official check arrives, your child will have practised decoding dozens of words, built speed and accuracy, and developed the self-assurance that comes from repeated success. The pack aligns completely with the English National Curriculum for Year 1 phonics, so every activity directly supports classroom learning and statutory assessment requirements.

This set of practice papers suits any Year 1 pupil preparing for the Phonics Screening Check, whether you're reinforcing school phonics lessons, addressing a specific gap in sound knowledge, or simply ensuring your child feels ready and confident. The combination of authentic checks, extra activities, and detailed answers makes home practice straightforward and effective, giving you peace of mind that your child is well prepared for this important reading milestone.
