About the KS2 English Year 5 Knowledge Retriever

If your Year 5 child is learning English and you want a simple way to check what's actually sticking, the KS2 English Year 5 Knowledge Retriever from CGP gives you exactly that. Designed for 9–10-year-olds, this revision guide uses fill-in-the-blank exercises and quick quizzes to reveal gaps before they turn into exam worries, covering reading comprehension, spelling, punctuation and grammar, writing and vocabulary in line with the English National Curriculum. It's the partner book to CGP's Year 5 Knowledge Organiser, turning taught topics into tested confidence—and every answer is printed at the back, so your child never sits stuck and you can mark homework in seconds.

How to use this book page showing the Knowledge Retriever method
Clear instructions explain how to use the fill-in-the-blank format and quizzes to check understanding

Each page in this retriever matches a page in the organiser, so your child learns the rule or skill first, then retrieves it here by filling in missing words—sometimes with a helpful first letter, sometimes without. Short quizzes at the end of each section mix up recent content, and a bigger final quiz covers the whole book. Because the exercises are quick and structured, children stay on task without needing constant supervision, and you'll spot exactly which grammar point or vocabulary rule needs another look. The full answer key at the back means marking is fast and friction-free, even on busy weeknights.

Sample page showing inverted commas, punctuating speech and grammar exercises
Inside pages show clear explanations and dotted-line fill-in exercises for spelling, punctuation and grammar topics

By the time your child finishes the retriever, they'll have practised every Year 5 English skill multiple times, building the automaticity that turns homework stress into SATs readiness. The format works because retrieval strengthens memory far better than passive re-reading, and the quizzes give you and your child an honest progress snapshot. It's a physical book that ships to your door, so there's no login, no screen time, and no subscription—just a straightforward tool that slots into your family's routine and delivers visible results.

This book suits any Year 5 pupil working through the English curriculum at school, whether you're supporting homework, filling holiday gaps, or preparing for end-of-year tests. Use it alongside the matching organiser for the full learn-then-retrieve cycle, or grab both in CGP's money-saving bundle. Either way, you'll have a clear, parent-friendly system that turns teaching into lasting knowledge—and gives everyone a little more breathing space at homework time.

  • Fill-in-the-blank exercises across reading comprehension, spelling, punctuation and grammar, writing and vocabulary for Year 5
  • Quick quizzes at the end of each section, plus a full-book quiz to check progress
  • Designed to pair with the Year 5 Knowledge Organiser—learn the skill, then retrieve it here
  • Full answers included at the back of the book for fast, confident marking
  • Supports the English National Curriculum and builds skills for KS2 SATs
