    SATs Reading Paper Videos

    These short videos share key findings from a question-level analysis of the 2025 KS2 reading test, focusing on the performance of looked-after children. Aimed at classroom teachers, they unpack which texts, domains and question types proved most challenging, and why, using clear comparisons with national outcomes. 

    The videos highlight practical implications for teaching reading in Year 6 and beyond, with a particular focus on vocabulary, inference, written responses and test stamina. They offer reflective prompts and actionable ideas to support vulnerable pupils, while also strengthening inclusive classroom practice for all learners.
