Paper 2 – One separate reading booklet with an answer booklet of a selection of passages totalling 800 to 1100 words.
Each paper is worth 50% of the marks and should take approximately 30 minutes to complete, although the children are not being assessed at working at speed so will not be strictly timed.
The texts will cover a range of poetry, fiction and non-fiction.
Questions are designed to assess the comprehension and understanding of a child’s reading.
Some questions are multiple choice or selected response, others require
short answers and some require an extended response or explanation.

18. How to help your child with reading
Listening to your child read can take many forms:
First and foremost, focus developing an enjoyment and love of reading.
Enjoy stories together – reading stories to your child is equally as important as listening to your child read.
Read a little at a time but often, rather than rarely but for long periods of time!
Talk about the story before, during and afterwards – discuss the plot, the characters, their feelings and actions, how it makes you feel, predict what will happen and encourage your child to have their own opinions.
Look up definitions of words together – you could use a dictionary, the Internet or an app on a phone or tablet.
All reading is valuable – it doesn’t have to be just stories. Reading can involve anything from fiction and non-fiction, poetry, newspapers, magazines, football programmes, TV guides.
