About the Year 1 Phonics Practice Tests Download (Ages 5-6)
The Year 1 Phonics Practice Tests Download (Ages 5-6) gives your child ten full-length practice tests that mirror the real Phonics Screening Check, helping five- and six-year-olds walk into the exam room with confidence and familiarity. Each downloadable PDF replicates the format, timing and question style of the official check, so your child knows exactly what to expect in June 2026. By practising at home, you reduce anxiety, build fluency and give your Year 1 pupil the best possible chance of passing first time.
Every test covers the complete range of phonics skills—real words, pseudo-words and decoding strategies—ensuring well-rounded preparation aligned to the National Curriculum. The practice papers look and feel authentic, which means your child can rehearse under realistic conditions without the pressure of a formal classroom setting. You can work through one test a week or accelerate the schedule to suit your family routine, and because the download is instant, you can start preparing the same day.

Regular practice transforms hesitant readers into confident decoders who tackle unfamiliar words calmly and accurately. Your child will recognise the test structure, understand the instructions and apply phonics rules automatically, turning potential stress into steady progress. The result is a Year 1 pupil who feels prepared, capable and ready to demonstrate their phonics knowledge when it counts.
This download suits any parent who wants structured, exam-focused phonics revision without the cost or delay of printed materials. Ten practice tests provide enough variety to track improvement over time, and the instant-download format means you control the pace and timing of every revision session.
