KS2 SATs Spelling Practice - Test 2 (Age 9-12) - Activity Pack

The KS2 SATs Spelling Practice - Test 2 is an essential activity pack for children aged 9-12, aimed at helping them achieve top grades in their Standardised Assessment Tests. This resource has been meticulously crafted by Sally A. Jones and published by Guinea Pig Education. It contains a series of spelling tests that are designed to be completed within approximately 15 minutes, although the time is not strictly enforced. The pack includes a spelling transcript which parents or educators should read aloud to the children, giving them the opportunity to fill in the missing words in their answer booklets. Care should be taken not to overemphasise the words, ensuring a fair test of the child's spelling abilities.

Marking the test requires attention to detail, as only one attempt per word is considered. Children are allowed to write in upper or lower case, or a combination, except for days of the week which must be capitalised correctly. The pack also specifies that no marks are awarded for words with incorrectly inserted punctuation such as apostrophes or hyphens. The test itself consists of 20 sentences with a blank space where the children must write the correct spelling of the missing word. These words range from everyday objects to more complex terms, providing a comprehensive challenge for the developing speller. The use of this pack is governed by the Open Government Licence v3.0, and it is protected against unauthorised photocopying, ensuring its integrity as an educational tool.
