How are children assessed in reading? Children in Y6 sit one reading paper that lasts for an hour. The paper assesses the ability of a child to read accurately and fluently as well as range of reading skills called, Reading Domains .
Reading Domains Reading domains were first introduced in 2016 in the national curriculum test framework. Reading domains highlight the elements of that national curriculum that will be assessed as part of the English reading test in the KS2 SATs.
2a: Give/explain the meaning of words in context What does this... word/phrase/sentence... tell you about ... character/setting/mood etc? Highlight a key phrase or line. By writing a line in this way, what effect has the author created? In the story, 'x' is mentioned a lot. Why?
2b: Retrieve and record information/ identify key details Where does the story take place? When did the story take place? What do you think is happening here?
2c: Summarise main ideas from more than one paragraph What's the main point in this paragraph? Which is the most important point in these paragraphs? How many times is it mentioned? Sort the information in these paragraphs. Do any of them deal with the same information?
2d: Make inferences from the text/explain and justify inferences with evidence from the text What makes you think that? Which words give you that impression? How do you feel about...?
2e: Predict what might happen from details stated and implied What do you think will happen next? What do you think [character] will do now? How do you think the story will end?
2f: Identify/explain how narrative content is related and contributes to meaning as a whole. Draw lines to match each section to its main content. Match each part of the story with the correct quotation from the text.
2g: Explain how meaning is enhanced through the choice of words or phrases Why do you think the author chose to use this word to describe...? Why did the author choose this simile? What is the effect of alliteration in this sentence?
2h: Make comparisons within the text Find and copy the words where [character]'s mood changes. How does [character]'s attitude change? How does [character]'s feelings change?
What does the expected standard look like in practice? read age-appropriate books with confidence and fluency (including whole novels) read aloud with intonation that shows understanding work out the meaning of words from the context explain and discuss their understanding of what they have read, drawing inferences and justifying these with evidence predict what might happen from details stated and implied retrieve information from non-fiction evaluate how authors use language, including figurative language, considering the impact on the reader summarise main ideas, identifying key details and using quotations for illustration make comparisons within and across books.
SATs Reading Comprehension Test what to expect. The extracts in the reading booklet will not be linked by a theme. The booklet will contain three or four different texts. The least demanding text will come first with the following texts increasing in level of difficulty Children will have a total of one hour to read the texts and complete the questions at their own pace.
The reading answer booklet what to expect. Approximately 35 to 40 questions (totalling 50 marks) Short, closed responses (such as multiple choice and matching questions).
