Bond Sats Skills Reading Comp 10-11

This is, no way, graded to KS2 SATS. It's essentially an 11+ practice book with questions aimed at children who have undertaken specific 11+ preparatory study.The problem with using it as KS2 SATS practice is that you will be inflicting hugely and excessively high demands on a child who is, no doubt, already facing some stress in terms of wanting to perform at her best.Unless you have bought into the 11+ scheme, and prepared the child for it accordingly, this really should be avoided.This is simply not at all graded to KS2 SATS and there is very little, if any difference, between the level of the questions here and in the "Stretch" version of the same subject.

We are homeschooling due to coronavirus, we did not get on with the schools website so we are using books. This particular one is one of our favourites, the pieces of work aren’t too long and therefore my son doesn’t moan even if it’s a piece he doesn’t particularly enjoy. It’s also nice and easy to mark, The answers are in the book but can be pulled out easily so only I get to see them. My son is 10 coming up for 11 and this book is perfect.

I love these reading comprehension books. There are different books for different age ranges (I use the other ones for differentiation).These ask a good range of questions as well as having a variety of interesting texts. They’re a good assessment to see how children are getting on and what questions you need to work on as a class.

The Bond books are excellent and this one is a perfect revision exercise for Sats. The texts are not too long, clear and concise language and we'll laid out. I recommend to any parents looking to help their children at home to prepare for the tests.

My son has found it challenging, but helpful towards his upcoming SATs exams.
