Progression of skills

As your child progresses through Reception and into Year 1, they should be making phonetically plausible attempts when writing sentences. You may find they are able to read the sentences and you are not always able to.

As your child progresses through Year 1 and into Year 2, they should be able to further apply their phonetic knowledge when writing. They should be able to read their work and have somebody else read it too.
