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.

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.

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.
