KS2 SAT's, speaking and listening; How is it assessed?

[newtermnewname]

Got on to the prickly subject of SAT's with DD on the way home and she asked how they assessed the speaking and listening element of the year 6 SAT's. Does anyone know? Is it continual assessment by the teachers re; how and what they contribute in guided reading or group discussions? I admitted to her that I had no idea and that I would ask someone who does.

Thanks.

Oh...really? So its just reading 'n' writing then?

[spanieleyes]

it is in the current SATs tests, although teachers will provide a teacher assessment level for speaking and listening based on continual assessment over a range of formal and informal activities during the year
