Phonics check

The phonics screening check contains 40 words divided into two sections of 20 words. Both sections contain a mixture of real words and pseudo-words.

Pseudo-words are words that are phonically decodable but are not actual words with an associated meaning.  Pseudo-words are included in the check specifically to assess whether the child can decode a word using their phonics skills. All pseudo-words in the check are accompanied by a picture of an imaginary creature. Children are taught that when a word has a creature next to it, it is a pseudo-word. This is to ensure that they are not trying to match the pseudo-word to a word in their vocabulary.

The pass mark for this year’s test was 32 marks out of 40.

Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check

The multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for all year 4 pupils.  The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently. It is an on-screen check consisting of 25 times table questions. Children have 6 seconds to answer each question. On average, the check should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. There is no pass mark for the check. The DFE’s Key Performance Indicator is how many children scored 25 out of 25.
