Page 3 of 32 1. Introduction The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) is responsible for the development and delivery of statutory tests and assessments. STA is an executive agency of the Department for Education. The 2018 tests assess the national curriculum. This test has been develo\ ped to meet the specication set out in the test framework 1 for English reading at key stage 2 and assesses the aspects of comprehension that lend themselves to a paper test. A new test and new mark schemes will be produced each year. Key stage 2 tests are marked by external markers, who receive training to ensure the mark schemes are applied consistently and fairly. The mark schemes are provided to show teachers how the tests are marked. The pupil examples are based on responses gathered from the test trialling process. Scaled score conversion tables are not included in this document. Conversion tables will be produced as part of the standards maintenance process. Scaled score conversion tables 2 for the 2018 tests will be published in July 2018. The standards conrmation meeting will take place in June 2018. 2. Structure of the test The key stage 2 English reading test comprises: • a reading booklet containing three texts that increase in demand throughout the booklet • a reading answer booklet containing questions totalling 50 marks. 1 www.gov.uk/government/publications/key-stage-2-english-reading-test-framework 2 www.gov.uk/guidance/scaled-scores-at-key-stage-2 2018 key stage 2 English reading test mark schemes

Page 6 of 32 4. Explanation of the mark schemes The range of marks available for each question is given at the side of t\ he page in the reading answer booklet. Incorrect or unacceptable answers are given a mark of 0. No half marks are awarded. The mark scheme for each question contains acceptable points, which are indicated either by a numbered list or a square bullet point (if there is only one possible answer). These must be treated as marking principles, not the exact response a pupil needs to give. They also contain examples of some frequently occurring correct answers given by pupils in the trials. These are shown in italics and are introduced by round bullet points. Many pupils will, however, have different ways of wording an acceptable answer. In assessing each answer, markers focus on the content of what has been written and not on the quality of the wr\ iting, expression or grammatical construction. For ‘nd and copy’ questions, the correct answer is indicated by the word(s) outside the brackets. The word(s) inside the brackets indicate the maximum quotation that is allowe\ d. Copying must be accurate but minor copying errors or introductions such as ‘The answer is…’ / ‘It’s…’ will be permitted. The mark schemes may also indicate commonly occurring but incorrect answers that should not be accepted. Recording marks awarded Pupils’ test papers are scanned so that marking can be conducted on screen by trained markers. For each question, markers record the award of 3, 2, 1 or 0 marks as appropriate, according to the mark scheme criteria. There is provision in the software to record questions not attempted. The software aggregates marks automatically. 2018 key stage 2 English reading test mark schemes
