Twelve flashcards showing each digraph/trigraph (sh, ch, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ear) with two example words. Tap to flip and reveal the example. Use 1-2 minutes a day for a few weeks before June.
A 5-slide e-learning explainer aimed at parents (with content suitable for sharing the gist with a Year 1 child too). Covers: what the check is, the 40-word format, what pseudo-words are, scoring/threshold, and how to support a child without making it stressful.
A Year 1 phonics activity sheet covering letter sounds, blending CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, simple sentence reading, and writing practice for Year 1 common exception words. National Curriculum aligned. Print A4 — ready for classroom or home use.
Four printable double-sided flashcards covering common Year 1 tricky words. Front: large bold word + an illustration prompt. Back: a teaching tip for the parent and a bonus “leap” question.
A short interactive lesson taking children through letter sounds, blending CVC words, and a sneaky introduction to digraphs. Three-question quiz at the end checks understanding.
A KS1 phonics game where the child taps the picture that starts with a target sound. 10 rounds, increasing variety. Score and time tracked and saved to the platform.
A complete 40-word practice paper formatted like the June 2026 Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. Section 1 (pseudo-words / aliens) and Section 2 (real words), each progressively harder. Use 1:1 with your child for a 5-minute simulation. The familiar test format reduces test-day anxiety and reveals which phonemes still need practice. Includes scoring guidance: 32 out of 40 is the typical threshold.
A short browser game that flashes pseudo-words on screen with three alien pictures. The child reads the word out loud, then taps the alien whose name matches. Tracks streak count and time per word so children get faster at decoding under mild time pressure — exactly the skill the screening check measures. Best for short sessions of 3-5 minutes.
A 10-question multiple-choice quiz that asks “which sound is in this word?” — covering the digraphs, trigraphs and split digraphs that come up in the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. Best-of-N scoring: best attempt is recorded for tracking. Suitable for 5-7-year-olds with adult support reading the questions.
