We would like to thank all the children, who attend the Guinea Pig Education tuition classes, for writing the fiction and non-fiction texts included in this book and allowing us to use them. Plus, thank you to the children who have trialled them so diligently.

Instructions
Between the ages of 9 and 12, you will have to complete Standardised.Assessment.Tests (Sats). To help you practise for these tests, we have produced a new series of comprehension booklets. The Standards and Testing Agency states that you have 1 hour to complete the test, answering the questions in the answer booklet. Read one text and answer the questions about that text, before moving onto the next text. There are three texts and three sets of questions.
When you are completing this booklet, you will see that some questions are followed by a short line or box. This shows that you need only write a word or a few words in your answer. If a question, is followed by a few lines, this gives you space to write more words or several sentences. However, if a question if followed by a large box, you will be expected to give a longer or more detailed answer. You will need to explain your opinion. It is best to write in full sentences for these questions. Read the instructions carefully. Some questions only need you to tick, draw lines to, or circle your answer.
As this is a reading test, you must use the information in the text to answer the questions. Numbers at the side of the page indicate the number of marks you can get for each question.
Before your child tackles the test, parents are advised to read the notes on comprehension at the back of this book.
The tests in this booklet are based on the KS2 Reading Assessment sample papers. It is important to try and complete them in an hour, but it is your choice. The more tests you practise the quicker you will get.

Changes

On the morning the letter came, Dad had shouted out excitedly, “We’re setting out on a new adventure,” but I wasn’t convinced I wanted to leave behind my life in the city. Two months later, removal day had come and gone, and we had arrived at our new house in the country. The hallway looked like a pigsty. It was cluttered up with piles of boxes; full of dusty old books we never read, ancient ornaments we didn’t look at and other family heirlooms even Granny didn’t want. There was a musty sort of smell that you associate with old things that are stored in the loft. It was a horrible muddle and looked as if we were collecting for a jumble sale. This made me feel even more miserable; the adventure hadn’t got off to a good start.
“Why can’t we go for a walk,” I pestered Dad whose feet were hanging out of the loft. “You promised that we would explore the area.”
“Look, you’ve got to understand,” he moaned, “Mum and I have to get these crates unpacked before we start work tomorrow.”
“It’s just not fair,” I retorted indignantly, digging my heels into the carpet. “You said you’d make time.”
“We didn’t know how long it would take. Look, I give you my word, that this weekend we will...” I didn’t wait to hear another string of false promises from Dad, but stormed angrily down the stairs and stood contemplating the view from the big window in the lounge. There were a row of identical houses, built in the same coloured brickwork and painted in shiny white paint with a small, neat front garden laid with lawn.
Suddenly, I felt isolated and alone. Something deep within me yearned to go back to the city street where I used to live. As I wrestled with my thoughts, I yearned to see again: Mr Patel’s corner shop by the old railway bridge, my friend Reg and my teacher Mr Wong. My head was full of pictures of familiar places. A terrible sadness overwhelmed me. My eyes misted over. If only Dad hadn’t applied for that new job.
A few minutes later I had made up my mind to go out alone. I wouldn’t wait. My parents were now employed by Global Oil and started tomorrow and we had started a new life. I would explore the area myself. Swiftly I grabbed my anorak, put on my trainers and went outside, banging the door firmly behind me. I strolled purposefully down the new street. A group of boys about my own age were playing football, arguing about who scored a goal... but they ignored me completely. Had I become invisible? Was I really bothered? Deep in thought, I walked on until I came to a small park with benches and play equipment for tots. By now I was sure there was nothing here for boys like me, so I was about to turn back when I heard a voice calling me. I turned and saw a dark haired girl smiling at me through kind brown eyes. She beckoned me over.
“Are you new round here?” she asked.
“Yes, I’ve just moved into number 22.”
“Me too, a bit further up the road. My Dad’s got a new job. We’ve all moved to England from Dubai – me, my parents and my twin brother.”
“Not Global Oil,”
“Yes, that’s the one.”
