I'm thinking of buying my DS (9) some KS2 workbooks. He's currently in year 4 and is a little behind, I want him to do well in the year 6 SATs.

(I know not everyone will think I'm doing the right thing but that's not really what I'm asking).

So basically, which ones should I buy? What level are they supposed to get in year 6? is it a 4b or something?

DD's school recommended the CGP ones - seem pretty good.

I've always bought a set of the Letts which I buy from WH Smiths. There is no harm in getting the books at all. I got key stage 1, 2 and 3 which are on hand now for DD doing a bit of revision for key stage 3 which take place next week.

It's a level 4 that is the expected level at year 6. Our school didnt give us sub levels. A 4b would indicate that they are keeping up nicely. I know that teachers/parents hate the sats and I dont stress about them. DD is reluctancly looking through the books. If it was GSCE (not long off now), then I would be making sure she revised extensively.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
