Marking Notes for Teachers/Parents:
- Each question carries 2 marks.
- For blending/segmenting questions (Q6–9, Q11), award full marks only if all sounds/letters are correct and in the right order.
- For Q20, accept any word from the sentence containing the /ar/ sound.
- Common errors to watch for:
- Confusing digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh)
- Counting letters instead of sounds in segmenting (e.g., saying "ship" has 4 sounds because it has 4 letters)
- Not recognising that blends (fr, cl, bl) represent two separate sounds
- Confusing short and long vowel sounds
- Forgetting the magic e rule (silent e makes the vowel long)
