Phonics Screening Check

During June, every child in Year 1 completes the phonics screening check.  This check involves children having to use their phonics knowledge to read 40 real and nonsense words.  At Smithdown the percentage of children meeting the expected standard is broadly inline with Local Authority Figures.
