We've been using Exam Ninja since my daughter was in Year 2, and it has been really helpful. The resources are excellent and have made a big difference in supporting her learning and building her confidence. She enjoys using them, and I've found them very useful for revision and practice at home. Highly recommended!

About the KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 2 (Ages 7-11)

KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 2 from Schofield and Sims is designed for confident young readers in Years 3–6 (ages 7–11) who are ready to tackle a richer variety of texts and sharpen their inference, vocabulary and analytical skills. Whether your child is consolidating Year 3 understanding or preparing for Year 6 SATs, this workbook delivers the breadth and challenge needed to meet English National Curriculum expectations for reading comprehension.

Inside you'll find broadsheet journalism, classic fiction extracts from Treasure Island and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, an instructional text on wormery-making, a Sherlock Holmes playscript and thought-provoking poetry by Charles Causley, Walter de la Mare, Valerie Bloom and Edward Thomas. Each passage is paired with clear questions that guide your child to identify literal meaning, make deductions, analyse structure and spot literary devices—building the layered reading skills examiners look for. Full answers and free supporting downloads are available online from the Schofield & Sims website, so you can check progress and offer targeted help at home.

The contents page lists diverse passages including newspaper reports, classic fiction, poetry and instructional texts, each with clear genre labels.

By working steadily through Book 2, your child learns to read beyond the surface—unpacking inference, building vocabulary in context and recognising how writers craft meaning. The mix of genres keeps practice engaging, while online answers let you mark work together and discuss trickier questions. That combination of varied texts and accessible support helps pupils arrive at assessments ready to tackle any passage with confidence and clarity.

Sample comprehension questions from the Alice in Wonderland extract
Questions range from one-mark retrieval tasks to two-mark explanation items, teaching children to support answers with evidence from the text.
