Would you like to know how your child is getting on with phonics without waiting until the next parents evening?
Do you want to know what sounds and tricky words they should know and if they know them?
​
Join the Phonics Check-Up to see if your child is on track with phonics and their next steps.
​​​
​The Phonics Check-Up explains what children learn in phonics in Reception and Year 1 and the age-related expectations so you know if your child is on track.
Whether your child is in Reception or Year 1, the Phonics Check Up will help you to identify what your child is confident with and any areas of phonics they might find tricky.
The Check Up includes the games that I played in my classroom to assess. Whether your child is in Reception or Year 1, the Phonics Check Up will help you to identify what your child is secure with and where they might need support.
​
Once you know what they need to work on next, use the suggested games to help them make progress with phonics, reading and spelling.

About Me
I'm Anna and I have a degree in Primary Education and 16 years of teaching experience.
During lockdown, I became a teacher to my own two children (which is much harder!) and shared the learning we did together on my Instagram account which has grown to over 50K followers.
I set up Mini Writers Club to share activities and resources to help you support your child with phonics, reading and writing.
When I'm not busy working on Mini Writers Club, you can find me trying to get on top of the laundry pile! I have made sure the activities are quick and easy so that you can fit them into your week.
