AI-generated DFE-style screening checks, built around each child's specific gaps. In the time it takes to make a cup of tea.
The problem
Existing tools test children on identical word lists. Children learn the words — not the phonics. Results plateau. Gaps stay hidden.
Creating bespoke practice materials for 30 children — each with different gaps — can take a whole evening. Time teachers simply don't have.
When children practise with materials that don't match the DFE Screening Check format, the real thing feels unfamiliar and stressful.
How it works
Run through the DFE-style word list on screen. Tap each word — green for correct, red for error. Works on tablet, laptop or phone. Takes about three minutes per child.
Scenario A & BPhonics AI maps every error to its phoneme category — ch digraph, split digraphs, ur/or/ar, triple consonant blends and more. The gap profile gets smarter with every assessment.
Gets smarter over timeOne click. Claude AI writes a fresh 40-word phonics check — 20 real words and 20 alien words — built entirely around that child's specific gaps. Every check is different. Every check is theirs.
DFE-identical formatDownload as a print-ready PDF or share a link directly with parents. Parents get a clean, mobile-friendly practice view — no login needed. Children practise at home with the same format they'll see on test day.
Parent sharing built inFeatures
Every generated check is visually indistinguishable from the official DFE Phonics Screening Check. Real words in white boxes, alien words in a distinct style. Children practise with exactly what they'll face in June.
Every assessment adds to a child's gap profile. The more you assess, the smarter the checks become.
Experienced teachers can skip assessment and describe gaps directly. Generate 10 different checks targeting split digraphs in seconds.
Share a link or QR code. Parents see a clean practice view on their phone — with an explanation of alien words. No login needed.
See every pupil's latest score and progress at a glance. Spot who needs urgent attention before the colour of a badge tells you.

"I used to spend Sunday evenings making phonics sheets. Now I generate them in the classroom in under a minute. The children are getting better results too — the checks actually target what they struggle with."
"As phonics lead, I needed something I could hand to TAs without training. This is it. They assess, they click generate, the check comes out looking exactly like the real DFE paper. Parents love the sharing link too."
"Our Year 1 screening results went up 11 percentage points this year. I can't attribute it all to one thing, but having bespoke practice materials that actually match the real check made a real difference."
