This KS2 SATS revision PowerPoint presentation from the National Literacy Trust is the perfect guide for pupils sitting the Year 6 SATs reading paper.

It is based on past question stems and focuses on the three core question types: word, retrieval and inference.

If you’re a Year 6 teacher, use this as part of your final preparations before the big day.

Top tips for timing

  • Read one text fully first, then answer the questions relating to that text while it is still fresh in your mind. Then move to the second text and do the same. Then the third.
  • Don’t spend ages text marking – highlight as you go. Stick to one pen and only do this if it helps YOU to understand more fully.
  • Make sure you keep your eyes on the clock. If you struggle to tell the time, your teacher might help by marking the clock in 20-minute sections or using a countdown.
  • You have one hour and three sections so do not spend more than 20 minutes per section (text and questions).
  • Remember that the sections get harder so try and spend less time on the first two to leave enough time for the last text which will be more difficult.
  • Poems may have fewer words to read but don’t skip through – you need to read and think carefully.
