Phonics test year two

My little girl failed the phonics test in year one and have a feeling she could possibily fail again in year two, they have had a practice test and my child has been picked to miss a playtime to practice nonsense words, is it just me that thinks they shouldn't be practising? Shouldn't it just be see how she actually does on the day? Shouldn't it reflect her ability to work out these words by herself rather than them being learnt or are the words not set and likely to be different when it actually comes to the test? It some how just doesn't feel right that she's missing playtimes to practice

It's absolutely impossible to work out the sound of ea in 'read, lead' or 'tear' without context.

Correct masha ...but hopefully the child can work out that it is one or the other.

and luckily it won't be in the test as they said no homographs
