About the English Comprehension Activity Book for Ages 8-9 (Year 4)

If you're looking to give your Year 4 child a clear path to stronger reading skills, the English Comprehension Activity Book for Ages 8-9 from CGP delivers exactly that. Designed specifically for pupils aged 8–9, this workbook builds the comprehension techniques your child needs to tackle KS2 SATs with confidence and excel in the English National Curriculum. Every page is packed with engaging texts and carefully structured questions that turn reading practice into real progress.

Sample comprehension page featuring a newspaper article about a heroic dog receiving a medal
Real newspaper-style text with structured comprehension questions to develop retrieval and inference skills

Inside, your child will find a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction passages, from adventure stories to factual reports, each followed by targeted questions that develop retrieval, inference, vocabulary, and explanation skills. The workbook breaks down each comprehension technique step by step, so your child learns not just what to answer, but how to think through each question. Colourful illustrations and friendly characters keep young learners motivated, while the clear layout ensures they can work independently without frustration. Every activity is mapped to Year 4 objectives, so you know the practice is perfectly matched to what teachers expect.

Comprehension questions with self-assessment emoji boxes and an extra challenge section
Extended questions and self-assessment boxes help children reflect on their understanding and tackle trickier challenges

The result is a child who approaches comprehension with growing confidence and independence. Regular practice builds familiarity with question styles and text types, so when SATs or classroom assessments arrive, your child feels prepared rather than anxious. Because the activities are varied and engaging, revision becomes something your child can tackle without constant supervision, freeing up your evening routine while still delivering measurable improvement. The workbook covers the full breadth of the English National Curriculum for Year 4 reading, and it's available now as a physical workbook that ships direct to your door.

This workbook is ideal for parents who want structured, curriculum-aligned comprehension practice that their Year 4 child can use at home. Whether you're supporting homework, preparing for SATs, or simply reinforcing classroom learning, CGP's clear approach and engaging content make it easy to build the reading skills that matter most.
