About the Year 1 Phonics 10-Minute Tests (Ages 5-6)

Here are our top reasons to buy the Year 1 Phonics 10-Minute Tests (Ages 5-6):

  • 10 mini phonics checks matching the question types and mark scheme of the Phonics Screening Check
  • Covers phonics, reading comprehension and spelling, punctuation and grammar for Year 1 (ages 5-6)
  • Each check runs to about 10 minutes, so it fits any part of the day
  • Full answers and mark schemes, plus phonics games and activities between the tests
  • Written by Helen Betts and matched to the National Curriculum for Year 1 phonics

The Phonics Screening Check comes in June, and these ten-minute tests are the practice your Year 1 child does in the weeks before it.

Your child sits the Phonics Screening Check in June, and this Year 1 phonics book builds towards it in short bursts. Each of the ten mini checks follows the question types and mark scheme of the real test, so very little feels new on the day.

Children write four words from memory within a timed 10-minute test

The ten checks sit in a printed workbook, with phonics games and activities in between to keep the sessions lively. In one check your child circles the right picture for each blend, and in another they write four words from memory. Answers and mark schemes are included, so you can score each one as you go.

Parents learn how to use the ten phonics checks, including timing and marking advice for Year 1 practice.

A page at the front shows you how to run a check, with advice on timing and on marking what your child has written. Work through them one at a time and you get ten chances to hear which sounds still trip your child up.
