These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the 2017 Year Two SATs Papers for GPS. The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability. If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2017 SATs with that score. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject. I have also included an instructions and document page, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included a link to the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score. All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s, 2’s or 3’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong. The sheets are set up for 32 pupils but more can be added/deleted and instructions are on the first page/sheet. Some cells are locked/protected in this document but the parts that you need to insert yourself are editable. This is so that the formulas/algorithms do not break and render the spreadsheet’s functionalities as broken. I take requests for Gap Analysis Grids. Please leave feedback if you like this resource as I am planning to produce more for each SATs paper going forward, as well as CGP Practice Papers. Please remember to rate this resource as I made this to save teachers time. Thank-you.

Three fantastic reading comprehensions based on three of the best fantasy texts for children. Each contains comprehension questions with question stems from the 2016, 2017 and 2018 SATs assessments and a detailed mark scheme. 1. The Hobbit - J.R.R Tolkien 2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C.S Lewis 3. Alice’s adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll Perfect for guided reading, whole class text dissection or homework. Tried and tested with great results.

This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading, by domain. Domains 2b and 2d are weighted more in these comprehensions to match the weighting of the end of KS2 Reading Comprehension assessment. Included: • SATs style comprehension questions for every chapter of the novel (20 comprehensions in total) • A teaching PowerPoint with an introduction to the author, their other works and copies of the questions. Additional activities you can use to delve deeper into the text. Please view the sample pages for an idea of the questions and expectations. This resource works best if the chapter is read, talked about and discussed in one day, then comprehension questions are given the day after. This resource has been used with both Year Five and Year Six classes to great effect and has boosted their reading skills and their comprehension scores. Please let me know if you found this resource useful. It should save you hours and hours of time.
