Year 1 Phonics Screening

Dear Year 1 parents, 

As you may be aware from parents evening and letters sent home, Year 1 children have their phonics screening test coming up (week beggining 11th June). This is a test whereby children will come and read some real words and some alien words (nonsense words) with their class teacher. If you would like more information about what this test entails, we have a parents event being held at 5pm on Monday 14th May. 

Here is a list of useful websites in order to practise with your children at home:
