I went to a meeting today about the phonics screen test for year one pupils. Forty questions 20 real words and 20 alien (fake) ones.
The children are then marked, and as far as I understand it doesn't matter about there grades. The test isn't to find out there levels because, the teachers know that without the test.
It's for government statistics as far as I can tell.
Can anyone shed any light into why the children are taking it?
Why do the government seem determined to destroy children as young as possible with pointless tests?
AIBU to think that it's too much, too young?
