I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the English Comprehension Activity Book for Ages 9-10 (Year 5)

If your Year 5 child needs to sharpen their reading comprehension skills ahead of KS2 SATs, the English Comprehension Activity Book for Ages 9-10 (Year 5) from CGP delivers exactly what busy parents need: clear practice, engaging texts, and full answers to check progress every step of the way. Designed for children aged 9–10, this workbook covers the breadth of the English National Curriculum for reading comprehension, building the vocabulary, inference, and retrieval skills that underpin exam success and confident classroom performance.

Sample page showing The Unhappy Genie poem with comprehension questions
Inside pages feature engaging poems and stories followed by structured comprehension questions that develop vocabulary and inference skills

Each activity is rooted in a real piece of text—fiction, non-fiction, or poetry—so your child practises answering questions in context, just as they will in tests. Questions range from straightforward retrieval to deeper inference and language analysis, mirroring the KS2 SATs style. The workbook includes a pull-out answer section, meaning you can mark work together at home and identify any gaps without guesswork. CGP's trademark clear layout and approachable tone keep frustration low and motivation high, so practice feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Additional comprehension questions and an extra challenge task on the page
Each activity includes extension challenges and a self-assessment tracker, encouraging independent learning and reflection

Your child gains the confidence that comes from regular, focused practice and the reassurance of immediate feedback. By the time they reach their SATs, core comprehension techniques—finding evidence, explaining word choices, summarising key ideas—will feel second nature. This physical workbook ships directly to your door, ready to slot into homework routines or revision timetables throughout Year 5. It covers the full breadth of reading skills required by the English National Curriculum and is available now for next-day delivery across the UK.

Perfect for parents who want a no-nonsense, curriculum-matched resource that supports independent study without requiring extra teaching. The book suits any Year 5 pupil working towards KS2 SATs or simply aiming to strengthen their reading comprehension week by week. With varied texts, scaffolded questions, and complete answers included, it removes the uncertainty from home practice and helps your child approach reading tasks with growing skill and self-assurance.

  • Comprehensive coverage of Year 5 reading comprehension, aligned to the English National Curriculum and KS2 SATs question styles
  • Wide range of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry extracts to keep practice varied and engaging
  • Full answers included in a pull-out section, enabling quick, accurate marking at home
  • Question types mirror SATs format—retrieval, inference, vocabulary, and language analysis—so exam techniques become familiar
  • Physical workbook format perfect for regular homework or targeted revision throughout Year 5
