I don’t understand the question. A. Read the question again and underline key words that tell you what to do.

How to deal with issues during the test It is impossible to plan for every scenario. Whatever action you take, pupil safety must always be your first consideration. In the following circumstances, you will need to stop the test either for an individual pupil or for the whole cohort: • test papers are incorrectly collated or the print is illegible • an incorrect test has been administered • a fire alarm goes off • a pupil is unwell • a pupil needs to leave the test room during the tests • a pupil is caught cheating. If you need to stop the test: • make a note of the time • make sure pupils are kept under test conditions and that they are supervised • if they have to leave the room, ensure they don’t talk about the test • speak to your test co-ordinator or a senior member of staff for advice on what to do next. You should brief your headteacher on how the incident was dealt with, once the test is over. What to do at the start of the test • Check that seating is appropriately spaced and that no pupil can see another pupil’s answer booklet. • Ensure that each pupil has a copy of the combined reading prompt and answer booklet. Introducing Paper 1 of the reading test It is recommended that you spend at least 5 minutes introducing each section of the KS1 reading booklet Paper 1 to the pupils. The Paper contains lists of ‘Useful words’ and a number of practice pages, designed to help the pupils into each text and to introduce the question formats they will be required to answer throughout. These are designed to be read by the teacher with the pupils. Meanings of the useful words should be discussed with the group and they should be helped to recognise the words. The practice page at the beginning of each section also provides the opportunity to discuss setting and characters in the case of fiction, and content and context in the case of non-fiction. Test administrators will need to build in time to go through these practice pages with the pupils at specific intervals throughout the 30 minutes spent on the Paper. Explain to the pupils at the start of the administration that you will spend some time going through the useful words and the practice pages for the first text in the booklet with them, and, after that, they will need to answer the questions quietly on their own. Tell the pupils to stop answering questions when they reach the end of that text and put their pens / pencils down. Explain that you will then go through the useful words and practice questions for the second text. Explain to the pupils that there will be a number of different types of question to answer including: • writing an answer on a line • putting a tick in a box next to the answer they think is correct • putting ticks in a table to show if an answer is true or false • drawing a line to match boxes • filling in information in a table • filling in a missing word in a sentence / finish a sentence. Ask the pupils if they have any questions about the list above. Tell the pupils to write their name on the front of the booklet. Ask the pupils to look at the ‘Useful words’ on page 2. Talk about the letters and the sounds in each of the words, to ensure that the pupils will recognise each of them when they meet them in the text. Ensure that the pupils understand the meaning of the vocabulary in the list. SAMPLE MATERIALS - DO NOT USE FOR LIVE TEST ADMINISTRATION
