• Literacy Boot Camp is a five week programme designed to aid revision of Year 6 children for their Literacy SATs test. After the activities have been completed for each day, a table shows you exactly which past SATs papers are recommended in accordance with that day's learning topic, and there is also a printable homework worksheet for that day.
• If you are a teacher, it has been created to make your life a little easier, and to give you one central place for your Year 6 SATs Literacy activities, rather than having to remember a million different websites, let alone the time it takes to find them all!

• Firstly, download past SATs papers from here: SATs papers, or ask your teacher.
• Work your way through the links for each day, then complete the SATs paper/s that are recommended. On some days there will be more than one SATs paper recommended, for example the spelling test from one year and the longer writing task from another year.
• By the end of Literacy Boot Camp, you will have completed all past SATs papers.
• Please note: Each day consists of a word or sentence level topic, plus a writing or reading topic, and a printable homework worksheet is available for each day.
• Please note: Literacy Boot Camp has not been designed to fit into the traditional one hour for literacy.

There are many costs that we have incurred and paid for from our own pockets for all of our Boot Camp resources, including the extra bandwith we buy each year to accommodate the increased number of visitors to our site in the run up to SATs; costs of freelancers that we hire both for technical and educational reasons; and the many hours it takes to create each Boot Camp, plus to maintain them. Science Boot Camp runs at a loss for us, and unfortunately we cannot do the same again for our other Boot Camps. Please note: Science Boot Camp will remain a free resource.

All links lead to high quality activities/learning zones on reputable sites such as the BBC, that can indeed be accessed for free - Compare4Kids does not take creative credit for any of these resources. There are also free websites that offer collections of links to useful resources. However, we believe that there is nothing quite like Literacy Boot Camp. Literacy Boot Camp is geared towards year 6 students about to take their Literacy SATS, and it is set out in an easy to follow way, with the benefit of relevant past SATs papers for each day's topic being provided. Our concept is unique, and it has been created to make your life a little easier in a time when things can be a bit chaotic! We suggest that you try the first six days before subscribing as they are free to use.

It costs £9.50 to access Literacy Boot Camp for one year. Your subscription will not automatically be renewed - instead, we will email you to notify you when your subscription has expired. And if this is not for you, the first six days are free and you can visit them and use them as much as you like.

Yes, the email address you register with will be used as your username. It is therefore a good idea to consider which email address you use when signing up. You may wish to set up a new Yahoo or Hotmail account so that you have a separate email address for these purposes. Choosing something such as your school name would make it easy to remember, for example myprimaryschoolnameyear6@yahoo.co.uk. If, once you have signed up, you wish to change your username to another email address, you are more than welcome to do so. This cannot be done from within your administration area, so please email us at sats@compare4kids.co.uk with the email address you registered with, and the email address you wish to use, and we will get that changed for you within 24 hours at the very longest.

You should automatically be sent your login details. If you have not received them within 10 minutes, it is likely that they have gone into your "spam" or "junk" folder, particularly if you are using Hotmail. We recommend that you add our email address (sats@compare4kids.co.uk) to your contacts so that future emails are delivered straight into your inbox. Please contact us at sats@compare4kids.co.uk if you would like us to resend your login details.

Absolutely not. Literacy Boot Camp is a resource to aid your revision, and is by no means a substitute for revision. We recommend that you work through the activities alongside the revision that you are doing with your teacher, or at home.

Yes, you can. Feedback has told us that many children like to work through our Boot Camps doing one topic each day, whilst others like to work through more than one topic a day. The key is not to rush - remember that it isn't a race, and you need to make sure that you get the most out of each activity. Some days there will be a lot to get through, and other days you will zoom through the exercises.

It is possible that Literacy Boot Camp might become a free resource at some point in the future.

Your subscription will last for one year, after which you will be able to renew it (we will email you to let you know that it has expired).

Yes, once you have subscribed to the members area of Literacy Boot Camp, you will be supplied with a password, which can then be used by all of the children in your class, all from individual computers.

Of course. We receive many emails from children (and from parents too!) who love the fact that they can work through our Boot Camps in their own time.

Of course. Whilst it has been created with Year 6 in focus, many of the activities that we link to are also suitable for Year 5, and possibly Year 4 too. However, as this is primarily a Year 6 resource, some of the links may cover topics that are not learnt in Years 4 or 5.

Yes, of course. It is a great idea to do some revision over the Easter holidays. Ask your teacher for your class login details if you do not know them, and then you can use them at home whenever you like.

It is likely that you are using Internet Explorer to access Literacy Boot Camp. Internet Explorer tends to open up new windows quite slowly. If you use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, the links in Literacy Boot Camp will open a lot quicker. You can download Firefox quickly and easily from here, if it is not already installed on your computer: Firefox.

Yes, you can pay via your credit card instead of logging in to, or setting up, a PayPal account. Look for wording such as: "Don't have a PayPal account? Use your credit card or bank account (where available)." There should be a link to take you to the facility to pay via credit card.

Literacy Boot Camp is a non-tangible irrevocable product so the refund policy is conditional, which you are responsible for understanding upon purchasing your subscription. We only make exceptions with this rule when the product appears to be not-as-described on a case by case basis in agreement of the parties concerned. The deadline for any refund claim is one week after subscription.

(What this basically means is Literacy Boot Camp is an experience and as such cannot be refunded if you are not entirely happy with the content. Please be sure to check out the first six days before subscribing as these are free.)

Our company reserves the right to change or modify these terms with no prior notice.
