A plain-English guide to the phonics screening check for parents and carers, with three home practice sheets — the thing to hand out at the Year 1 parents’ evening instead of explaining it forty times.
No jargon, no acronyms left undefined, and a straight answer to the question parents actually ask: what does it mean if my child does not pass? (A screen, not a verdict. Extra help and a re-check in Year 2 — the system working as designed.)
Included (print PDF + fully editable PowerPoint):
- What the check is, in one page
- Why invented words are in it — and the one mistake to avoid at home
- A reference page of the sounds their child is learning, with an example word for each
- Three home practice sheets — creature names, longer creature names, and a real/invented mix
- A five-minutes-a-day record chart
Editable, so you can add your school’s name, your own dates, or a line about your phonics scheme before you send it home.
Clear layout, generous spacing and dyslexia-aware design throughout, following British Dyslexia Association style guidance.
