⭐️11 tips for helping with SATs preparation⭐️

Talk about the SATs and tell your child not worry about them. The school will also do this, too, but it makes a bigger impact if school and parents do this together. Children perform best when they are relaxed.
Reading 📚 is a key part of primary education so keep encouraging daily reading whether your child reads on their own or if you read together. Discuss the books, the characters, the storylines and encourage your child to express their own opinions think 💭 on the book. This is important to their long term development as well as SATs test.
Play mental games when you are on the way home whether you are walking or driving. Playing card games, Uno, Monopoly and dominoes all help with Maths. Whereas games like hangman, Boggle or Scrabble will support with literacy,
You can buy test papers and work through them with your child. Your child will be doing lots of tests in school so only do more if your child enjoys their challenge. If your child doesn’t like them, it is counter productive to force them to do more.
If you are searching for SATs paper on the internet, remember there are a limited number of new style SATs papers as they only began in 2016. It is best to avoid looking at these with your child as your school will use them for practice.
Try to keep everything else running normally. So whether its sport, music lessons music 🎶 or Scouts and Guides; sticking to your normal routine of out of school activities demonstrates to your child that SATs are not the be and end all of year 6.
During the SATs week, whilst keeping to normal timetable, try to avoid late nights 💤 as children will find sitting the tests tiring. Try giving them a banana 🍌 for breakfast this helps calm nerves as bananas are a muscle relaxer.
Try to make sure your child has some fresh air ⛅️ when they come home from school on test days.
Keep it in proportion. They are primary-school tests to gauge the education in the school and do not affect the secondary school your child will go to.
Stay positive. Many children enjoy taking the tests as they see it as a challenge and like the importance and the feeling of being special that SATs give year 6.
Remember you do not have to more tests with your child or teach them. The most important thing is to give your child lots of praise as they will be doing their very best.

Good luck 🍀

Help with SATs preparations and reduce stress for your child

•Print out some sample SATs papers for your child to practice on beforehand to not only give them practice on the questions themselves but also to familiarise themselves with what to expect. A quick Google search brings up lots of results for this so you should find plenty to be getting on with. In theory, the more papers they do, the more confident they will feel in the actual SATs exams.

•Make sure you take the time to read the papers yourself so you can see what they’ll be doing and try and do a few with them.

•Sometimes the questions aren’t worded in a clear way so help your child to decipher what the question is actually asking.

•Praise when they’ve done well and when they get questions wrong, don’t focus too much on the fact that the question is wrong, help them to understand why it’s wrong and how it should have been done. Then write a few similar questions of your own for them to check their understanding.

•Discuss exam techniques with them – I always used to find it easier to do the easier questions first, then go back to the harder and spend free time checking over.

•Early nights and healthy breakfasts are even more necessary than ever during SATs week.

Good luck
