Year 1 Phonics Screening Check Practice Pack, 6 Mock Checks, Pseudo Words, Class Tracker, UK KS1 Printable

Practise the Year 1 phonics screening check with six complete mock checks. Each mock has 40 words (20 real words and 20 pseudo or alien words) in a 12 + 28 two-section layout, printed one word per page so children can focus on a single word at a time. The pack also includes a scoring sheet for every mock with a sound-by-sound key, a class tracker, a pupil tracker with a progress chart, and Phase 2 to Phase 5 intervention cards for the gaps the mocks show up. All words were written for this pack. They are not DfE test items, and this pack is not an official or DfE-endorsed resource. Written for UK Year 1 / KS1 and also useful for US grade 1 decoding practice.

What's included:

• 257 printable pages, supplied for both A4 and US Letter
• 6 mock checks: 240 word pages (120 real words and 120 pseudo words), one word per page
• Pseudo-word pages carry a simple alien picture, as in the real check format
• 6 scoring sheets with a grapheme-by-grapheme key, real/pseudo marker and section totals
• Class tracker for 30 pupils across all 6 mocks, with a count of pupils at the threshold
• Pupil tracker with a colour-in progress chart and notes space
• 4 pages of Phase 2, 3, 4 and 5 intervention cards (16 cards: sounds, real words, alien words, 10-minute routine)
• 1 page of unscored practice words
• 3 pages of teacher guidance: printing, running a mock, scoring rules, using results

How to use:
1. Print the guide pages and read the scoring rules. Print the word pages for the mock you want, single-sided, at 100% scale (choose A4 or US Letter).
2. Print one scoring sheet per pupil. Stack the 40 word pages in order, or put them in a ring binder or flip-book.
3. Sit one-to-one with the pupil, show the practice words, then show each word page in turn. Mark each word on the scoring sheet using the key.
4. Add the scores to the class tracker and pupil tracker. Check the current threshold mark in the official DfE guidance, as it is confirmed each year.
5. Use the intervention cards for the phase where the errors cluster, then repeat with the next mock. The check is expected in the week of 14 June 2027, so check the official dates.
