[senco-forum] KS2/KS3 readers

What we do is with each new year group we gather them together and go
through the scenario of the exam and model what we expect them to do so they
are left with no doubts as to what they can do. We tell them thast they have
to raise their hands etc etc 
Hope that's helpful

Not sure Sharon where you're going with this.  Even if each child had their
own reader, you can't read for them unless they ask you to.  Richard

This is quite an issue for us - last week 14 students qualified for readers
- only six ASKED for questions to be read - so most had no benefit.  Trying
to get them to understand the need/importance was a lost battle.

It is quite clear in the instructions for additional support. You may read
the question to the child, in KS2 incl symbols and numbers IF they ask. You
cannot reword the question.

Hi, just looking through the ARR book/ guidelines for KS2 SATs and it
says a reader may help in "clarifying specific text in a mathematical
question as long as no clue is given to the answer"

Does anybody know what this means you can/ cannot do? Quite desperate
as they begin tomorrow and we haven't had a visit for a few years-
can't risk doin the wrong thing.

Thanks to anybody who is able to shed some light!
