Year 1 Phonics screening check 2015

Y1 phonics screening check 2015 past paper
The Year 1 Phonics Screening Check, administered in June, tests children's knowledge of phonics with a mixture of real and nonsense words. Look through the official past paper for 2015 to see what sort of words your child will be asked to read.
Keystage:  KS1, Year 1

Children's phonics knowledge has been tested at the end of Year 1 since 2012.

Look through the 2015 Screening Check official test paper to get an idea of what sounds and words (including nonsense words or pseudo words) your child might be expected to read in this year's test.

The 'pass threshold' mark for this 2015 past paper is 32 out of 40 words read correctly.
