Are you, or your Year 6 child, suffering from SATs stress ?!! As a Junior School teacher, I recommend this revision aid for the end of Key Stage 2 tests for 11 year olds. I have used the teacher's materials from Revisewise in class to support my Year 6 pupils in English, Maths and Science. Parent resources are available to help support your child at home. These link to the BBC TV broadcasts, but can also be used alone. From the BBC website, you can purchase a variety of materials, all approved by QCA (the examination authority)- Revisewise Activity books £3.99 Videos £9.99 CD Roms £9.99 Past test papers £6.99 Quiz books These resources are available for English, Maths or Science.

In my professional opinion, these are excellent revision materials for any child preparing for KS2 SATs. Good luck!
