Free Phonics Assessment for Kids
Builds assessment
Find out exactly which sounds your child knows in ten minutes. It takes about five minutes a round, uses a recorded human voice rather than a robotic one, and tells you afterwards exactly which items your child still finds hard.
How it works
- Your child hears the prompt read aloud in a real human voice.
- They tap, trace or speak their answer.
- Right answers earn a star and a sticker; wrong ones replay the correct sound immediately.
- LQuest records what stuck and picks the next item accordingly.
Why this skill matters
Assessment is one of the building blocks of decoding. Children who practise it in short, frequent bursts — five minutes a day rather than an hour a week — reach fluency noticeably sooner, because reading rewards repetition more than intensity.
