Total Marks: 30 Subject: English Language Level: Primary 1
Marking notes:
- This is a practice paper, syllabus-first and AI-inferred.
- All phonics answers are based on Standard English letter-sound correspondences appropriate for P1 (single-letter consonants and short vowels, plus a few common long-vowel spellings like ee in tree and bee).
- For Section C, accept the word in lower or upper case, but the spelling must match.
Section A: Letter Sounds (1 mark each — 5 marks)
1. A — s Concept: The letter s stands for the /s/ sound in sun. Why not the others: t = /t/, n = /n/, p = /p/. None of these make the /s/ sound.
2. B — c Concept: The letter c stands for the /k/ sound in cat (when followed by a, o, u, or another consonant). Why not the others: g = /g/, o = /o/, a = /a/. The question asks for the /k/ sound at the start of cat.
3. D — g Concept: The letter g stands for the /g/ sound at the end of dog. Why not the others: d = /d/ (the start of dog), o = /o/ (the middle), p = /p/ (a different end sound). The question asks for the final sound.
4. D — e Concept: The middle sound /e/ in hen is made by the letter e. Why not the others: a, i, o are other vowel letters; they do not match the /e/ sound in hen.
5. B — i Concept: The middle sound /i/ in pig is made by the letter i. Why not the others: e, u, o are other vowel letters; they do not match the /i/ sound in pig.
Section B: Sound It Out (1 mark each — 5 marks)
6. p (first letter of a p p l e) Visual needed: A clear drawing of an apple. Students write the first letter of the spoken word apple. Mark: 1 mark for the correct letter p.
7. k (last letter of d u c k) Visual needed: A clear drawing of a duck. Mark: 1 mark for the correct letter k.
8. a (middle letter of v a n) Visual needed: A clear drawing of a van. Mark: 1 mark for the correct letter a.
9. b (the /b/ sound at the start of b e a r) Visual needed: A clear drawing of a bear. Mark: 1 mark for the correct letter b.
10. c (the /k/ sound at the start of c u p) Visual needed: A clear drawing of a cup. Mark: 1 mark for the correct letter c. Note: the letter c makes the /k/ sound when it is followed by a, o, u, or another consonant (as in cup).
Section C: Blend and Read (2 marks each — 8 marks)
Marking rule for this section: Award 2 marks for a fully correct spelling of the word. Award 1 mark if 1–2 letters are correct but the word is not fully spelled. Award 0 marks if the word is wrong or blank. Accept lower- or upper-case.
11. frog (from f - r - o - g) Visual needed: A green frog on a lily pad. Students blend /f/ + /r/ + /o/ + /g/ to read the whole word. Mark: 2 marks for frog.
12. zebra (from z - e - b - r - a) Visual needed: A zebra. This is a stretch item; the initial /z/ sound is the new challenge. Mark: 2 marks for zebra. Common error: confusing z with s; remind students that z "buzzes" like a bee.
13. star (from s - t - a - r) Visual needed: A star shape. Mark: 2 marks for star. Note: the st here is treated as a blend only by ear; spelling is still letter-by-letter for P1.
14. moon (from m - oo - n) Visual needed: A moon. The long /oo/ sound is written with two letters oo. Mark: 2 marks for moon. Common error: writing mon — remind students that moon has two o's to make the long /oo/ sound.
Section D: Rhyming Fun (2 marks each — 8 marks)
Marking rule: 1 mark for the correct option letter, and 1 mark for being able to explain the rhyme (not required in writing, but confirm the student is matching the ending sound, not just guessing).
15. B — hat Concept: cat and hat share the ending sound /at/. Why not the others: dog ends in /og/, fish ends in /ish/, sun ends in /un*.
16. A — night Concept: light and night share the ending sound /ight/. Why not the others: cake ends in /ake/, dog in /og/, bus in /us/.
17. B — bee Concept: tree and bee share the ending sound /ee/. Why not the others: car ends in /ar/, hat in /at/, sun in /un/. (Note: bee uses the long /ee/ spelling, tree uses ee as well — both end in the same /ee/ sound.)
18. C — third Concept: bird and third share the ending sound /ird/. Why not the others: cat ends in /at/, fish in /ish/, dog in /og/. This is a stretch item because third has a t before the h, but the th digraph is not required — students only need to hear the same ending sound.
Section E: Read and Match (2 marks each — 4 marks)
Marking rule: 1 mark for each correctly matched pair. Each part (a)–(d) is worth 1 mark. Total 4 marks per question, 2 questions.
19. Matching:
- (a) net → picture of the fishing net (top-left)
- (b) sun → picture of the sun (top-right)
- (c) pig → picture of the pig (bottom-left)
- (d) cup → picture of the cup (bottom-right)
Visual needed: A 2x2 grid with (1) a fishing net, (2) a sun with rays, (3) a small pig, (4) a cup with a handle. No labels on the pictures themselves.
Concept check: Students sound out each CVC word and look for the matching picture.
20. Matching:
- (a) bus → picture of the red bus (top-left)
- (b) hen → picture of the hen (top-right)
- (c) fox → picture of the fox (bottom-left)
- (d) box → picture of the box (bottom-right)
Visual needed: A 2x2 grid with (1) a school bus, (2) a hen, (3) a fox, (4) a box. No labels on the pictures.
Concept check: Students sound out each CVC word and look for the matching picture. Box ends in /ks/ — a slightly more complex end sound but still a single-syllable word suitable as a P1 stretch.

Teaching Notes (for the teacher / parent)
- Section A tests letter-sound knowledge: students should be able to look at a letter and say its sound, and to listen to a sound and name the matching letter.
- Section B tests phoneme position: students need to know first, middle, and last sounds in a CVC word.
- Section C tests blending: students stretch a word out sound-by-sound and then push the sounds together to read the whole word.
- Section D tests rhyming / same-ending-sound awareness: a key phonemic awareness skill that supports later spelling.
- Section E tests blending in context: students match the spoken/ written word to a picture, which adds meaning.
If a student struggles, the best support is to say the word slowly (segmenting) and then say it fast (blending). For example: "f-f-f-f … frog!" Use picture cards, magnetic letters, or alphabet blocks to make the sounds physical.
