Teacher Notes
Structure of each test (40 marks, about 60 minutes in total)
• Section A: Spelling (10 marks, about 10 minutes).
Teacher-led dictation.
Read: the number, the word, the sentence, then the word again. Pupils write the missing word in the gap. The target words are in the Answer Key.
• Section B: Grammar and Punctuation (10 marks, about 15 minutes). Mixed formats: multiple choice, insert punctuation, underline, rewrite and sort.
• Section C: Reading Comprehension: Narrative (10 marks, about 17 minutes).
• Section D: Reading Comprehension: Non-Narrative (10 marks, about 17 minutes).
Every question is worth 1 mark unless stated. Where a question asks pupils to tick two answers, or to sort or order items, all parts must be correct to earn the mark.
