About the English Activity Book for Ages 5-6 (Year 1)
The English Activity Book for Ages 5-6 (Year 1) from CGP gives your child a solid grounding in reading, writing and grammar from the very start of Key Stage 1. Covering the Year 1 English National Curriculum, this single workbook brings together reading comprehension, handwriting, spelling, punctuation, grammar, vocabulary and phonics in one easy-to-follow resource. It's ideal for building confidence at home, reinforcing classroom learning or simply making English practice a little more enjoyable for five‑ and six‑year‑olds.
Each activity is designed to be short, colourful and engaging, so your child can work independently or with light support. The book moves through core skills step by step—matching sounds and letters, forming sentences, recognising punctuation, and answering simple comprehension questions. CGP's clear layout means parents can quickly see what's being practised on each page, and children stay motivated by the variety of tasks and friendly illustrations. Because all the essential topics appear in a single book, you won't need to juggle multiple resources to cover the curriculum.

Regular practice with this workbook helps your Year 1 pupil develop neat handwriting, recognise common spelling patterns and read short texts with growing fluency. Over time, these small wins add up: children arrive at school more prepared, tackle new words with less hesitation, and approach writing tasks with greater independence. Parents often find that a few pages after school or at the weekend keep skills sharp without overwhelming a young learner. Because the book follows National Curriculum expectations, you can be confident every exercise is age‑appropriate and relevant.

This workbook suits any Year 1 child who is ready to explore English beyond the classroom, as well as parents who want a trusted, curriculum-matched resource they can pick up and use straightaway. CGP's reputation for clear explanations and thoughtful progression means you spend less time planning and more time celebrating your child's progress. It's a practical, reassuring choice for families who value steady, enjoyable learning at home.
