App Description

The Learn at Home Check your Phonics app is a fun way for children, aged 5-6, to practise their phonics, and get used to the format of the Year 1 phonics check.

With it children can:
• Practise reading words that use all 44 phonic sounds
• Record their voice to see if they’ve read words correctly
• Build their own alien characters as a reward for completing each of the 4 phonic checks – then watch them have a boogie!

Check your Phonics contains a combination of words and non-words to give children the chance to get used to reading non-words and familiarise them with the format of the Phonics Screening Check that will be taking place in English schools from Summer term 2012.
