This is the level 6 key stage 2 reading test.

You should have a reading booklet and an answer booklet in front of you.

You will need a black pen or a pencil and eraser for this test.

You have 10 minutes to read the reading booklet. You can make notes on the text while you read but you must not open the answer booklet during the reading time. You will then have 50 minutes to answer the questions.

You should now start reading your reading booklet.

(After 10 minutes of reading time)

You have now had your 10 minutes of reading time.

Clearly write your name, school and DfE number on the front of your answer booklet.

You will be asked questions on each text in the reading booklet and some questions will be about the whole booklet.

If you want to change your answer, put a line through the response you don’t want the marker to read.

Open your answer booklet to page 3. I will read the instructions to you.

You should try to answer all of the questions. If you cannot answer a question, move on and return to it later. Remember that you should keep referring back to your reading booklet.

Remember to check your work carefully.

If you have any questions during the test, you should put your hand up and wait for someone to come over to you. Remember, I cannot help you answer any of the test questions or read any of the words to you.

You must not talk to each other.

Are there any questions you want to ask me now?

You have 50 minutes to complete the test. I will tell you when you are halfway through the test and will also tell you when you have 5 minutes left. I will tell you when the test is over and to stop writing.

You should now open the answer booklet and start to answer the questions.
