Written comprehension starts here, and this is the first book of the four for your child in Years 3 to 6.

Your child reads well enough aloud, but the questions on the page are a different skill. This Schofield and Sims workbook teaches that skill, with the texts and question types used in KS2 English lessons. A Year 7 child who still hesitates over written answers will find it steady ground.

Every text in this printed workbook comes with questions that move from finding facts to explaining meaning. One story ends with eight questions on vocabulary, collective nouns and the moral. Answers are online from the publisher, so you can mark the work together.

Book 1 opens a series of four, graded by ability rather than age, so start here if written comprehension is new. An introduction explains how to use the texts. Poems, fables, reports and a playscript keep the reading varied, and the questions build the close reading the KS2 SATs later test.
