Year 2 SATS -any good websites?

[googlenut]

Ds had autism and has been practicing level 3 papers at school, but he is struggling a bit with them. I think he probably just needs a bit of practice with the papers. He loves the computer so wondered if there were any good websites people have tried?

Have you looked at the BBC site? www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks1/ some nice activities on there. Not related to answering specific sats type questions, but does practise many of the KS1 skills.
www.ictgames.com/ is another nice one I use with my class (SEN group, some ASD)
Here are a few others I use
www.crickweb.co.uk/Key-Stage-1.html

I honestly think that practising with KS2 papers will just lead him to further heartache at secondary.

Whilst I understand that your DS will appreciate understanding what he will be facing, the primary school will already be doing that and if he receives too much 'coaching', then he will score higher than his natural ability. This will lead to him being placed in the wrong sets at secondary and could cause more harm than good if he struggles to keep up with his peers.

No college, university etc are going to be bothered with KS2 so why not allow him to gain his true level?

Year 2 Sats - do you mean Key Stage 1? My understanding is that these are mainly teacher assessment, and the "exams" are used by the teachers to back up their assessment. The school will have a clear idea of his level already and, in any event, it makes no difference to your child at this stage. They will be assessing continually through Key Stage 2 anyway.

Yes it is ks1 sats. It's not that I want to artificially raise his level, but he sometimes needs to repeat things so that he can process them fully. He is in the top sets so is a bright chap.

Cricket balls- your comment is rather strange, would you make it if he didn't have special needs?

Thanks claptrap, I'll look up all those sites

There is no harm in practising skills at home if DS enjoys using the computer, SATs or no SATs.

As they take things absolutely literally, I sometimes find that my brightest children with ASD sometimes just need to practise 'reading the question' as it were. Knowing that there are several different ways of asking for the same skill to be demonstrated. Once they have their head around what is actually being asked, they are away.
