KS2 SATs Grammar, punctuation and spelling practice paper B

Adverbs, clauses, correct punctuation and sentence analysis are all part of the new KS2 SATs Grammar, punctuation and spelling test. Help your child revise in preparation for the May assessments with our practice papers, written in the style of the 'SPAG' test.

The KS2 SATs Grammar, punctuation and spelling test is a key part of the Year 6 SATs in English. The tests assess children’s abilities in the following technical aspects of English:

• grammar
• punctuation
• spelling
• vocabulary

These papers have been written in the style of SATs papers, to offer your child extra practice resources. Since 2016, children in Year 6 have taken new SATs exams in English and maths to reflect the 2014 National Curriculum. These mock papers, available exclusively for TheSchoolRun subscribers, are based on the old SATs format and content, but can still be used to give your child valuable exam practice.

How to use the SPAG test practice papers

Allow your child to complete the tests in a quiet room without any help.

If possible, time the test and allow them around 30 minutes to complete the grammar and punctuation section.

The spelling section should take approximately 15 minutes to complete and will require you to read out each sentence twice with emphasis placed on the underlined word. Look in the answer section for the transcript for each spelling test.

Following the test, it will really help your child to sit down and work through the answers together – use the mark sheets provided.

You can download four further practice tests, exclusive to TheSchoolRun subscribers, to help your child prepare for the KS2 Grammar, punctuation and spelling test at home.
