Free KS2 SATs Reading Diagnostic: Find the Gap

A 32-question Redbridge Publishing diagnostic designed to show more than a score. It helps parents, tutors and teachers identify repeated reading patterns across retrieval, vocabulary, inference, evidence, summarising, prediction, language and comparison.

Finished the diagnostic?

Use the results to identify the two or three gaps that matter most, then see our Year 6 tuition, SATs and secondary-school readiness pathway if you would like help turning those gaps into a teaching plan.

What is included?

  • 4 original texts: fiction, non-fiction, narrative non-fiction and poetry
  • 32 original Year 6 reading questions
  • Answer guidance and skill labels
  • A diagnostic-to-teaching map showing which mastery module to use next

How to use the diagnostic

  1. Ask the pupil to work independently.
  2. Mark for meaning rather than exact wording.
  3. Look for repeated skill patterns rather than overreacting to one isolated error.
  4. Use the skill map to select the matching SATs Reading Misconception Mastery module.
