Key Stage 1 SATs English practice papers B

Even Year 2 children will be completing reading comprehension, spelling, punctuation and grammar tasks in the classroom. This KS1 SATs-style paper (based on the pre-2016 SATs format) offers them some extra at-home practice and is aimed at more able learners).

Since 2016, children in Year 2 have taken a new style of SATs exam in English and maths to reflect the updated National Curriculum. These practice papers, written especially for TheSchoolRun and available exclusively to subscribers, are based on the old-style KS1 SATs, used up until 2015, but can still be used to give your child at-home exam practice.

If you're looking for a bigger challenge for your child, these papers are aimed at more able children (previously National Curriculum level 3; read our article on how the primary grading system is changing here). All the tasks - reading comprehension of information text and story text, spelling and writing assessment - have been designed by a primary school teacher to stretch year 2 children.

We also have level 2 KS1 English SATs papers for your child (set A and set C), as well as suggestions on how to help your child improve their writing.
