What do the results mean?
The questions have been chosen to represent a range of spellings from across the year group.
If a child scores less than 4 then they should practise spellings at the stage below the test assigned. As this is Stage 1, children should practise Phonics Stage spellings.
If a child scores 5 – 25 then they should practise spellings at Stage 1.
If a child scores 26 – 30 then should practise spellings at Stage 2.
