English Reading

The 2017 KS2 English Reading SATs paper will be presented in two booklets.

One booklet is the Reading Booklet that contains three separate (and unrelated)

reading texts. The second booklet is the Reading Answer Booklet which contains

the questions. The questions are ordered in the same sequence as the texts.

As with previous years, the questions will broadly assess a child’s ability to fully

understand the structure, purpose and meaning of a passage of text. The

questions will test a variety of reading comprehension skills including:

• Fact retrieval e.g. “Name the four types of building detailed within the piece.”

• Structure and presentation e.g. “Why do you think the author choose to present

a table alongside the text?”

• Inference e.g. “Why do you think the author has used the word “frozen” to

describe the character?”

• Open-ended questions e.g. “Explain how and why the author has chosen to end

the story. Use two examples from the text.”

English: Grammar, Punctuation and

Spelling

Part 1 (Punctuation & Grammar Questions) is a notably hard test that contains a series of questions on SPaG topics including:

• Nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, determiners, conjunctions, clauses etc.

• Subjunctive verbs, passive and active voices, subordinate clauses etc.

• (The use of) capital letters, commas, inverted commas, apostrophes, colons, semi-colons, hyphens etc.

• Suffixes, homophones, synonyms and antonyms.

Part 2 (Spelling Test) is unchanged from previous years. Your child’s teacher will read 20 sentences from a script with an emphasis on a word that needs to be spelt. Within your child’s answer booklet is the same sentence but with a blank space left for them to correctly spell the word.

Maths Paper 1, known as the “Arithmetic” paper, contains 40 marks worth of calculation-based

questions. For this paper it’s essential that your child is comfortable and competent with the following topics:

• Fractions (including mixed numbers).

• Decimals (including converting fractions into decimals).

• Percentages (and how they relate to fractions).

• Square numbers.

• Rounding.

• Applying Addition, subtraction, multiplication (long and short) and division (long and short) to ALL of the above. This includes how to apply these operations in order when required (i.e. BODMAS).

Paper 2 and Paper 3 are now known as the “Reasoning” papers and each contain 35 marks worth of more problem-solving based Maths. Children will need to apply their KS2 Maths skills (as used in Paper 1) to a variety of topics including:

• Geometry (including coordinates, rotation, reflection, symmetry etc).

• Ratios (and how to interpret them from fractions, percentages etc).

• Charts and tables.

• Units and measures (including time, temperature, money, weight, volume etc).

• Shapes and their properties (including triangles, hexagons and their angles).

• Roman numerals.

How are the results presented and reported?

SATs Results:

Children will receive a ‘raw score’ for each test (their total number of

correct responses).

The raw score will be converted into a ‘scaled score’.

The scaled score of 100 or above will show that your child is working at the

expected national standard.

The raw score required to achieve a scaled score of 100 will not be set until

after the SATs tests have been completed.

Standard

99 – 100 scale score is the

difference of around 5 marks.

• What is meant by ‘scaled scores’?

• It is planned that 100 will always represent the ‘national standard’.

• Each pupil’s raw test score will therefore be converted into a score on the scale, either at, above or below 100.

• The scale will have a lower end point somewhere below 100 and an upper end point above 100.

• A child who achieves the ‘national standard’ (a score of 100) will be judged to have demonstrated sufficient knowledge in the areas assessed by the tests.

Teacher Assessment:

Reading, Maths, Writing: ‘Working Towards the expected standard’ or

‘Working at the expected standard’ or ‘Working at greater depth within the

expected standard’ (or not).

Children will be assessed against a collection of ‘performance descriptors’

for each subject. These will be continually assessed in class work until the

end of June.

The judgements are no longer a ‘best-fit’ model. Instead, children must be

achieving all objectives within a band in order to achieve it.

Common Mistakes

Rushing to start & rushing to finish.

Not reading questions carefully: ¾ of this class made an error in recent

reading and maths tests due to misreading a question (tick 2, draw one line

etc)

Forgetting to show workings (in Maths).

Time management

Knowing how much to write

Spending too long on one question

How can you help?

Timed homework/revision sessions

Check understanding before/after (review/editing time is important)

Encourage them to underline key words/instructions

Don’t let them rub things out; they should be able to talk through their

process and explain their mistakes

Encourage them to give opinions with multiple reasons

School was rubbish today because ...

Page 17: KS2 SATs Parent Meeting - Stow-on-the-Wold Primary School SATs Parent... · The 2017 KS2 English Reading SATs paper will be presented in two ... The questions are ordered in the same

How can you help?

Build confidence and practise weaker areas (e.g. written methods of

calculation, times tables, skim reading, fact finding etc)

Real-life maths skills:

Time – what time is it? How long until…? How long since?

Money – how much? How much more? How much change?

Fractions – if you buy something in a sale, ask them to help work out the

cost!

Explaining articulately something they’ve learnt in school.

Page 18: KS2 SATs Parent Meeting - Stow-on-the-Wold Primary School SATs Parent... · The 2017 KS2 English Reading SATs paper will be presented in two ... The questions are ordered in the same

How can you help?

Daily reading and discussion about texts is essential

Focus discussion on language and vocabulary choices by the author – I wonder

why the author has used that word? What does that make you think of? Is

that similar to anything else etc

Grammatically correct speech correction…

Spellings and Handwriting are of a much higher priority in order to achieve

the expected standard in Writing. Spellings– encourage different strategies to

help learn them.

Basic punctuation is essential in order to be ‘working towards’ in writing.

Simple mistakes should be identified and corrected in all written tasks to

ensure attention to detail and accuracy.
