I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the First Comprehension Teacher's Guide (Ages 5-7)

The First Comprehension Teacher's Guide (Ages 5-7) from Schofield and Sims gives you everything you need to teach reading comprehension with confidence to Year 1 and Year 2 pupils. Whether you're working with your child at home or preparing a group for Key Stage 1 requirements, this guide delivers sample answers, progress tracking sheets, and clear teaching notes that turn every extract into a stepping stone for stronger reading skills.

Inside, you'll find detailed advice on introducing written comprehension alongside sample answers for each pupil book, so you can check understanding quickly and spot gaps early. The Group record sheet helps you monitor progress at a glance, while photocopy masters and follow-up activities extend learning for younger readers or whole-class sessions. National Curriculum alignment charts show exactly how each text meets English programme-of-study objectives, removing guesswork and saving you precious planning time.
