Getting ready for the summer Phonics test? Here are two Phonics revision tests from previous years.
I have converted 4 documents into a simple to use PowerPoint.
It starts off with practice words. These include both real and made up words. These help students to revise how to say the words and to prepare them for the test.
This is followed by the practice test. There are 2 levels, a simple level and a trickier level, In each case there are real and made-up words.
This is followed by recommendations on how to say each word. This is followed by the marking sheet.
These PowerPoints are fun, colourful and an easy way to practice the words either with a whole class or one by one with the students. It is also an excellent way for parents to practice with their children at home.
Make phonics testing fun... try this set of PowerPoints today!
These worksheets are designed to be used time and again with different books.
These are designed to be used in guided reading sessions. Many of the worksheets are designed in such a way that a student can complete them independently. However, to get the maximum out of this book, I would highly recommend these worksheets are used to consolidate the learning taking place in the classroom.
Another use of this set of worksheets is additional homework sheets. I have used these sheets very effectively as a way of checking to see if students have read their book and do fully understand what they have read.
I hope you enjoy this book and that your students are inspired to take a more active, more motivated role in their own learning.
