<p>A new curriculum was introduced in 2014. Tests reflecting that curriculum were
introduced in 2016. Since then the time allowed for the Key Stage 2 reading assessment
has not changed. The test framework for the English reading test places a limit on
the number of words that can be included in the texts and this limit has not been
breached.</p><p>Assessments go through a rigorous test development process lasting
three years. Thorough trialling of the materials, with the texts in the combinations
they will appear in a final test, allows test developers to ensure the reading booklets
are suitable and that the standard is maintained.</p>
