Year 1 Phonics screening check 2012

The Y1 Phonics screening check is used to test children's reading and phonics skills and what they've learnt in their first two years at school. Get an idea of what your child will be asked to do in the June test by looking through the official past paper for 2012.

 

The very fist Year 1 Phonics Screening Check took place in June 2012. Look through the official past paper to understand what sounds and words (including the controversial nonsense words or pseudo words) your child might be expected to read in this year's test.



You can also download the Year 1 Phonics screening check from 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022.



        



The 'pass threshold' mark for this 2012 past paper is 32 out of 40 words read correctly.
