Key Stage 1 Reading Sample Materials

Year 1 spring and summer term reading assessments and year 2 autumn and spring terms assessments consist of two papers, with the second paper per term providing more challenging questions for pupils who can work more independently.

Reading texts are presented in the same booklet as the questions, with the exception of the year 2 spring assessment, which includes a separate reader booklet, to mirror the format of the end of key stage 1 national curriculum assessments.
