Supporting your child • The biggest single influence on your child’s SAT marks will be their reading ability. Good readers can read questions quickly, and understand what they need to do. Continue to encourage your child to read every day, looking at both stories and non-fiction. • To help your child prepare for SATs use the websites listed below.: www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/revision/index.html (general revision) www.cgpbooks.co.uk/online_rev/ks2choice.asp (interactive revision activities) www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/ (science, literacy, numeracy) www.legend.yorks.com/~calverms/contents.htm (maths tutor) www.scienceyear.com/wired/start www.coxhoe.durham.sch.uk/curriculum/curriculum.htm
