The official pass mark has not been released for the 2022 check yet; however, in 2021, this was 32 out of 40. Floppy’s Phonics engages the children with its familiar characters and supports both teaching and learning with CD-ROMs; classroom visual aids, the structured set of phonics books; cumulative, decodable, activity sheets and texts, plus planning and assessment materials. Floppy’s Phonics Sounds and Letters is a beautifully crafted programme for learners aged 4-7 that is both systematic and rigorous.This programme is a content-rich systematic synthetic phonics programme that allows for a two-pronged approach to teaching phonics. This enables them to check on their own accuracy as well as taking responsibility for their own learning. The final set of 12 books in the Floppy’s Phonics Sounds and Letters series revisits phonemes and graphemes learned in Phases 1-4, whilst introducing new phonemes with a strong focus on groups of alternative spellings, such as, ai, ay, eigh, ey, a-e (including split digraphs).
