How to support your child

It is essential that you support your child throughout this year in order to give them the best chance in their SATS. You can do this by:

· Reading with your child or challenging what they have read at least 4 times a week. This could be looking at the characters or any new vocabulary they have read.
 

· Ensuring the children are handing in their homework on time. If they are struggling, encourage them to come and tell an adult before the deadline. We will be able to help!
 

· Children MUST practice their spellings!

 

· Rewarding your children if they complete some extra revision or completing their homework and reading.

 

· Ensure the child has read or an adult has read the child’s ‘Read and Respond’ text each week.

 

· Keep challenging children’s vocabulary. Check their understanding of new and unknown words.

 

· Ensure children attend booster clubs and breakfast provision.

 

· Attendance – Encourage children to attend as much as possible. Every minute is precious and essential.

Supporting children's mental health throughout SATs.

 

The SATs are used to measure both the school's and the individual child's attainment and progress. Although we want pupils to succeed in their SATS and reach their full potential, we want them to remain happy and healthy children. Please have a look at the information below to ensure that you are able to help your child throughout SATS to ensure that they are not feeling stressed.
