What KS2 SATs cover
- Reading: comprehension of a range of texts
- Maths: arithmetic and reasoning papers
- Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling (GPS)
Build steady habits
- Read together and ask questions about what was read.
- Practise times tables and written methods little and often.
- Use short GPS exercises to secure grammar terms and spelling patterns.
Use past papers well
SATs-style questions and past papers show the format and timing. Mark them together and spend more time on the questions that went wrong than on the ones that went right.
Rehearse with a mock
A mock under test conditions takes the surprise out of the real thing. Detailed feedback on where marks were gained and lost shows exactly what to practise next.
