About the KS2 English Reading SAT Buster: Fiction - Book 1 (for the 2024 tests)

If your Year 6 child is preparing for the KS2 English SATs in 2026, KS2 English Reading SAT Buster: Fiction – Book 1 offers a practical, focused way to practise the reading comprehension skills they need to succeed. Published by CGP, this workbook is designed for 10–11 year olds and provides four varied fiction texts paired with questions that mirror the format and challenge of the real Reading test. It takes the guesswork out of SATs preparation by breaking down every skill the exam will assess, so your child can build confidence one text at a time.

The workbook explains how to use the book, introducing the eight reading elements tested in the KS2 SATs and the friendly Tellastaurus progress tracker

Each fiction passage is followed by a range of questions covering word meanings, fact retrieval, inference, structure, language, and more – all the elements your child will meet in the official test. Self-assessment boxes encourage pupils to tick off their progress after each section, and a scoresheet at the back helps you both see which areas are secure and where extra practice might help. This clear structure turns revision into manageable steps, so there's no overwhelm and your child always knows what to tackle next. Answers are available in a separate answer booklet (sold separately), making it easy to check work and discuss any tricky questions together.

By working through this SAT Buster, your child will become familiar with the test format and develop the reading stamina they need to tackle longer passages under exam conditions. Regular practice builds fluency and helps them spot question types more quickly, so they can approach the SATs calmly and confidently. The workbook aligns with the KS2 English National Curriculum and is tailored to the 2026 test specification, ensuring every minute spent revising is relevant and worthwhile. It's a straightforward resource that supports independent study at home while giving you clear insight into their progress.

This workbook suits any Year 6 pupil who wants targeted fiction practice ahead of the KS2 SATs. It works equally well as a supplement to classroom learning or as a focused revision tool in the run-up to test day. CGP's SAT Buster series also includes companion books for non-fiction, poetry, and stretch material, so you can tailor practice to your child's needs. With its clear layout, engaging texts, and built-in progress tracking, this book helps turn reading revision into a manageable, confidence-building routine.
