WHAT ARE THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES & OUTCOMES OF THIS RESOURCE?
With this full-length Year 6 SATs Spelling Practice Paper, children focus on honing what they have learnt about the rules and patterns of English spelling throughout Key Stage 2.
The Paper also develops children's ability to successfully work through a Paper 2 in its entirety before sitting the actual exam.
By doing a full-length paper such as this, children become much more at ease with the format and the time constraints, making the actual exam far less daunting.
IS THIS AN EVERGREEN OR SEASONAL RESOURCE?
This resource is obviously designed with the KS2 SATs in mind, and as such, will be useful for revision in the spring during the run-up to the exams. That said, you may also find this useful for quick, targeted practice before a mock exam at school or other forms of assessment.
CAN YOU PROVIDE FURTHER GUIDANCE REGARDING AGE RANGE & SUITABILITY?
While we strongly recommend that this resource is used with children who fall into the age groups listed above, you are, of course, free to use this resource in any educational context that suits your needs.

DO MY CHILD & I HAVE TO DO THIS IN 15-20 MINUTES?

While you may find it useful as a tool for your child to practice answering questions against the clock, you may equally decide that your child will benefit from the resource more if the time pressure is removed. The amount of time your child spends doing is left entirely up to you.
