About the Early Comprehension Workbook 1 (Ages 3-5)
Early Comprehension Workbook 1 (Ages 3-5) gives your pre-schooler or Reception child the perfect introduction to reading comprehension through pictures, sequencing and simple text. Published by Schofield and Sims, this workbook builds the skills your 3–5 year old needs to understand stories, spot patterns and make sense of what they see—essential foundations for confident reading as they move through Key Stage 1.
Each page uses colourful picture-based activities to teach story sequencing, reading captions, identifying what happens first, before and next, and predicting how a story ends. Your child will look at sets of pictures, number them in the correct order, tell the story aloud and answer simple comprehension questions. Because the tasks are visual and engaging, even the youngest learners stay focused and build concentration without feeling overwhelmed. The clear, step-by-step layout means you can guide your child at home with confidence, and the graded approach ensures every activity matches their developing skills.

By the time your child completes this workbook, they will have practised observation, classification, following instructions, prediction and story endings—all the core comprehension strands that underpin the English National Curriculum at Key Stage 1. You'll notice them becoming more articulate when discussing pictures, more confident in identifying sequences and better prepared for the reading comprehension tasks they'll meet in Year 1 and Year 2. This is a physical workbook that ships to your door, so you can start building those vital early literacy skills straightaway.

Early Comprehension Workbook 1 suits any pre-school or Reception child who is ready to explore stories and pictures with a little more structure. Whether you're supporting learning at home, preparing for the start of school or reinforcing classroom work, the gentle progression and familiar Schofield and Sims quality make this workbook a trusted choice for busy parents who want reliable, straightforward resources.
