About the First Comprehension Workbook 2 (Ages 5-7)
First Comprehension Workbook 2 (Ages 5-7) gives Year 1 and Year 2 children an early introduction to reading comprehension, building the skills they need to understand, interpret and enjoy a wide range of texts. If your child is gaining confidence in reading and you want them to move beyond decoding words to really engage with what they read, this workbook offers eighteen carefully selected passages—from classic authors such as Kenneth Grahame and Jacqueline Wilson to accessible non-fiction—alongside direct, inferential and evaluative questions that mirror the demands of the National Curriculum at Key Stage 1.
Every passage is introduced with helpful context, so children know what to expect, and key vocabulary is explained in a glossary at the foot of the page. Questions are carefully structured to develop literal recall first, then push pupils to infer meaning and evaluate the writer's choices—exactly the progression they will meet throughout primary school. Schofield and Sims provide online answers and free supporting downloads from their website, so you can check your child's work and reinforce learning at home without guesswork.
By working through this workbook, your child will grow more confident in tackling unfamiliar texts, learn to read between the lines, and develop a genuine enthusiasm for stories and information books. The mix of fiction and non-fiction reflects the breadth of the English National Curriculum, and the structured question types prepare pupils for more demanding comprehension work in Key Stage 2. This is a physical workbook that ships to your door, ready for daily practice or homework sessions.
First Comprehension Workbook 2 suits children in Year 1 or Year 2 who are ready to deepen their understanding of what they read. The clear layout, varied texts and question styles make it easy to use at home alongside school learning, and the online answer support means you can guide your child's progress with confidence.
