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 KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 1 (Ages 7-11)

KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 1 gives your child in Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 or Year 6 (ages 7–11) a solid foundation in understanding different types of text, building vocabulary, and answering questions confidently. Published by Schofield and Sims, this workbook combines gripping classic tales—from Aesop to E. Nesbit and Dick King-Smith—with informative non-fiction, poetry by Dylan Thomas and Wendy Cope, and even a playscript based on The Wizard of Oz. It's designed for children who are new to written comprehension, so every passage is pitched at a level that builds skills without overwhelming.

Each extract is followed by carefully structured questions that teach your child to find literal meaning, make inferences, spot how sentences are structured, and identify literary devices such as similes and metaphors. The variety of text types—from fables and reports to comic poems—keeps practice engaging while building the range of skills required by the English National Curriculum for Key Stage 2. Online answers are available free from the Schofield and Sims website, so you can check work together and guide your child through tricky questions without guesswork.

By working through the book regularly, your child will grow more comfortable tackling unfamiliar passages, picking out key details, and explaining their answers clearly—all essential for school assessments and the eventual transition to SATs. The texts spark curiosity about language, and the questions encourage close reading rather than guesswork, so your child gains genuine understanding alongside better marks. This physical workbook is dispatched quickly across the UK, ready to support homework, home learning or targeted practice alongside class work.

KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 1 suits any child in lower Key Stage 2 who is starting formal comprehension practice or needs a gentle, structured programme to build confidence with a wide range of texts.
