Can Pseudo Word Cards Help To Improve My Year One Phonics Screening Check Results?

Utilizing pseudo word cards give a chance to youngsters to peruse non-words and practice their acknowledgment and mixing of graphemes from the most punctual stages in their phonic advancement. This can enable the majority of your kids to gain ground in mixing sounds in outside or non-words and empower them to enhance their score on these words in the Phonics Screening Check. I discovered three issues with the pseudo words, outsider or non-words in the main test my kids took in 2012. My more capable perusers attempted to peruse the outsider, nonwords as genuine words. This is on the grounds that I had not polished outsider words enough with them and did not understand what an effect this would have on their score. Some of my most capable perusers did not achieve the limit. Other kids discovered digraphs and trigraphs more hard to spot in the nonwords thus they read the letters as single sounds. They had been accustomed to re trying genuine words until the point that they seemed well and good and would backpedal and search for digraphs and trigraphs. I had frequently utilized 'sound catches' to underline phonemes in words, yet there were no 'solid catches' in the words in the test. So when endeavoring to peruse the nonwords, the kids battled on the grounds that they had no reference point to check they had perused them accurately. Perusing Alien Words Is Not Just About The Phonics Screening Check Results I understood that perusing non-words ought not to be an attitude that I instructed basically for, or even just sometime recently, the test. Perusing non-words is, in reality, a helpful attitude that guarantees youngsters' phonic information is solidly implanted and can be utilized to unravel more mind boggling words as they enter Key Stage 2. In spite of the fact that I discovered some fantastic online assets, none of them were efficiently tied in with the formative periods of the DfE's Letters and Sounds Program. I looked in the Letters and Sounds Program and began making words that utilized the phonemes and word structures from each period of it. When I put these words onto cheat sheets I intentionally left out the 'sound catches' or underlining of every phoneme in the word. This empowered the kids to work on perceiving digraphs or trigraphs in non-words. Did it work? All things considered, for my next phonics screening check the change in the outcomes for youngsters in my class was sensational. From a pass rate underneath the national normal in 2012 to a splendid more than 90% pass rate in 2013. The progressions to the Phonics Screening Check 2014 imply that we won't know the edge or pass stamp until after the check has been managed. I am sure that the aptitudes my youngsters now have in perusing outsider words, through utilizing my pseudo word cards, will enable them to score well on the phonics screening check again this year.
