About the First Comprehension Workbook 1 (Ages 5-7)
First Comprehension Workbook 1 gives Year 2 children (ages 6–7) a confident start in written comprehension, building the reading skills they need to tackle Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 texts with clarity and enthusiasm. Eighteen carefully chosen passages—from Roald Dahl and A. A. Milne to engaging non-fiction extracts—reflect the breadth of the National Curriculum and introduce your child to poetry, fiction, reference texts, and real-world explanations. Every page is designed to turn early readers into thoughtful readers who can find answers, make inferences, and form their own opinions about what they read.
Each comprehension unit pairs a short, age-appropriate text with a range of question types—direct retrieval, inference, and evaluation—so your child learns to read closely, think critically, and write clear answers. The mixed genres and subject matter keep practice fresh and mirror the variety children meet in school, while the clear layout and manageable exercises mean they can work independently or alongside you. Online answers and free supporting downloads from the Schofield & Sims website let you check progress quickly and support your child's learning at home without guesswork.
Your child will grow from hesitant reader to confident comprehender, ready to discuss stories, spot clues in texts, and tackle school assessments with less stress and more self-assurance. Because the workbook aligns fully with the English National Curriculum and covers the text types tested at Key Stage 1, you can trust that every session builds skills your child will use in class and beyond. Published by Schofield and Sims and stocked as a physical workbook, First Comprehension Book 1 arrives ready to open and start straightaway.
This single workbook suits Year 2 pupils attempting written comprehension for the first time, as well as older children who need a gentle, structured introduction to answering questions on paper. The variety of texts and question styles ensures steady progress without repetition, and the online support means you can guide your child with confidence from the very first page.
