Word Families SATs Style Questions

KS2Gems has crafted a series of SATs style questions for Year 6 students, focusing on the area of word families within the realm of Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling (GPS). The set includes five questions, each designed to emulate the question style found in past SATs papers. These questions are intended to serve as a starter activity to either assess pupils' existing knowledge or to facilitate retrieval practice. The questions revolve around completing sentences with words formed from a given root word or identifying the root word from which a given word is derived.

The first question asks students to complete a sentence with an adjective that has 'like' as the root word, such as 'likely.' In the second question, students need to use 'view' as the root word to fill in the blanks in a sentence related to a film producer's actions. The third question requires identification of the root word for an underlined term in a sentence about an old gentleman's behaviour. Questions four and five follow a similar pattern, with 'play' as the root word in the fourth, and identifying the root word for 'misplaced' in the fifth. For each question, the answers are provided on the subsequent slide, allowing for immediate feedback and discussion.
