KS2 English Questions

Reading & Comprehension

KS2 English places increasing demands on reading stamina and comprehension depth:

• Reading and discussing a wide range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry
• Inference and deduction: reading between the lines and explaining evidence
• Identifying themes, authorial intent and the effect of language choices
• Summarising and comparing texts across different genres and time periods

Writing

Children develop as confident writers who adapt their style for purpose and audience:

• Planning, drafting, revising and editing extended pieces of writing
• Narrative writing with character, setting, dialogue and plot structure
• Non-fiction: persuasion, explanation, discussion and report writing
• Using a wide vocabulary and a range of sentence structures with control

Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling

Secure grammar knowledge underpins all English work in KS2 and the SATs GPS paper:

• Word classes and their functions: determiners, prepositions, conjunctions
• Clause and sentence structure: main, subordinate and relative clauses
• Punctuation: commas, apostrophes, inverted commas, colons, semi-colons
• Statutory spelling lists and morphological patterns
