Year 4 Reading Assessment (SATs-style)

Year 4EnglishReading assessment23 pages

A full reading assessment in the format of the KS2 English reading test. The reading booklet contains three texts – a story ('A Real Virtual World'), a non-fiction piece ('Teeth') and a poem ('The Star'). The second file is the pupil answer booklet, where children write their answers to marked questions (e.g. retrieval, sequencing, vocabulary, inference and explaining how a character feels).

What it covers

  • Retrieval and multiple-choice questions
  • Ordering events in a story
  • Vocabulary in context (e.g. 'bewildered', 'urgently')
  • Inference – how and why characters feel and act
  • Finding and copying evidence from the text

Who it's for

Year 4 children (age 8–9) practising for school assessments; also a helpful early SATs taster for Year 5.

How to use it

Print both files. Allow around 45–60 minutes. Note: the 'answer booklet' is where pupils write – no mark scheme is included, so ask a tutor to mark it or bring it to a Harringtons session.
