The Phonics Screening Check (PSC) in the UK has been controversial for a number of reasons:
  • Prioritizes one part of reading
    The test focuses on decontextualized decoding, which is only part of the skill of reading.
  • Goes against what children have been taught
    Some schools say the test goes against what children have been taught, and that children who read well above their age did not pass.
  • Assessment has become the curriculum
    Some teachers say the assessment has become the curriculum, to the detriment of some groups of learners.
  • Amount of words to learn
    Some criticize the method for the amount of words children have to learn and retain in quick succession.
