Description
A beautifully written Year 6 SATs-style reading comprehension based on an original fiction text about a boy and his grandmother who make their annual journey to a coastal nature reserve to witness the spectacular arrival of migratory birds. Quiet, emotionally layered, and thematically rich, this passage explores memory, love, and the natural world.
Written to match the depth and register of KS2 SATs reading papers, this text offers strong opportunities for inference, theme, and extended response questions — particularly suited to pupils who need practice with more subtle, character-focused fiction.

What’s Included
• Original fiction passage (approx. 510 words) — The Migration
• 12 SATs-style reading comprehension questions (25 marks total)
• Full answer key with mark scheme guidance and acceptable answers
• Questions cover: retrieval, vocabulary, inference, characterisation, theme, structural effect, and extended response

Question Types Covered
• Retrieval (find and copy, locate information)
• Vocabulary in context (what does this word suggest?)
• Inference (character relationship, emotional subtext)
• Language and imagery
• Theme and authorial intent
• Extended response across whole text (3-mark question)

Suitable For
Year 6 SATs preparation, guided reading, reading assessment, homework, or classroom revision.
