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 Early Comprehension Workbook 2 (Ages 3-5)

Early Comprehension Workbook 2 (Ages 3-5) gives your pre-school or reception child the building blocks for confident reading comprehension, right when it matters most. Published by trusted Schofield and Sims, this workbook takes young learners from simple picture sequences through to reading captions and predicting story endings—skills that lay the foundation for Key Stage 1 success and beyond.

Inside, graded activities guide your child step by step: they'll sequence stories, read for meaning, decide what happens first, before, or next, and practise traditional comprehension tasks tailored to their age. Each page balances pictures with short texts, so even emerging readers can build understanding without frustration. The clear, progressive structure means you can track progress easily, and your child stays engaged as tasks grow gently more challenging.

Contents page showing the scope of activities in Early Comprehension Book 2
The contents page reveals a rich variety of comprehension skills—from inference and classification to sequencing and prediction—across 31 pages of age-appropriate activities.

Your child will grow from simply naming objects to understanding cause and effect, making judgements, and drawing conclusions—all vital for the English National Curriculum at Key Stage 1. Regular, short sessions with this workbook help build the reading confidence that makes school comprehension tasks feel familiar and achievable, reducing anxiety and freeing your child to enjoy stories and texts.

Sample activity page asking children to decide whether sentences match pictures
A typical activity page encourages children to read sentences, examine pictures, and make judgements—building critical thinking alongside comprehension skills.

This single workbook suits any pre-school or reception pupil ready to move beyond basic phonics into meaningful reading. It works equally well for daily practice at home or as a confidence-builder alongside school learning, and it ships as a physical book so your child can write, colour, and revisit pages whenever they need a boost.

  • Covers story sequencing, reading for meaning, and predicting endings for ages 3–5
  • Graded activities progress from picture-based tasks to simple text comprehension
  • Aligned with the English National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 readiness
  • Published by Schofield and Sims, trusted by UK parents and teachers for decades
  • Physical workbook (ISBN 9780721709185) ships direct to your door
