Very in-depth for the age group needed. I like the idea of glossary terms at the back if they don't understand. Would recommend.

About the KS2 English Year 5 Reading Comprehension Targeted Question Book - Book 2 (with Answers)

If your Year 5 child needs more practice tackling different types of text and answering comprehension questions with confidence, KS2 English Year 5 Reading Comprehension Targeted Question Book - Book 2 delivers exactly that. Designed for ages 9–10, this CGP workbook continues where Book 1 left off, offering fresh fiction, non-fiction and poetry at the same level—perfect for pupils who are building momentum towards SATs and beyond. Every passage is followed by targeted questions that mirror National Curriculum expectations, so your child practises the skills examiners actually look for.

Inside you'll find a diverse range of texts spanning classic and modern authors, each chosen to engage young readers and challenge their understanding in a manageable way. Full answers are included at the back, making it simple for you to check progress or for your child to self-mark and learn from mistakes. CGP also provides handy online extras, including a pupil progress chart, so you can track improvements week by week. Because this is Book 2, it pairs seamlessly with Book 1 or the Stretch Book if your child is ready for an extra challenge—and CGP even offers a money-saving bundle for Books 1 and 2 together.

Seven questions on a poem extract, including multiple choice, copying, and short written answers to test understanding

Regular practice with this workbook helps your child recognise text types quickly, spot key details and articulate answers clearly—all vital skills for end-of-year assessments and everyday literacy. The variety of styles and eras keeps revision fresh, and the consistent difficulty level means confidence grows steadily rather than overwhelming a younger learner. Parents appreciate the no-fuss layout: open the book, read a passage, answer the questions, check the answers and move on. It's structured home learning that fits around busy family schedules, with no extras to download or subscriptions to manage.
