Get ready for the year 2 phonics screening check with our Year 2 Phonics Screening Check Buried Treasure Game. We have taken a selection from the past three years screening checks and compiled them into real and nonsense words for you to use in your classroom. Ask children to practise the look at the words cards included in the game and decided if they are real or pseudo words. If they are real the children should place them in the treasure chest, if they are pseudo the children should place them in the bin.

When is the year 2 phonics screening in 2020?

As year previous years’ year 1 children missed their phonics screening check due to lockdown, the screening check will now take place in Autumn 2 2020 for the current year 2 children. Teachers should choose a past phonics screening check paper and administer that.Teachers can administer the phonics screening check at any time during the Autumn 2 term (between October half term and Christmas). They must then submit the results to their local authority.
