About the KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 1 (Ages 7-11)

Here are our top reasons to buy the KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 1 (Ages 7-11):

  • Book 1 of four graded books, for children new to written comprehension
  • Fiction, non-fiction reports, poems and a playscript based on The Wizard of Oz
  • Questions build literal meaning, inference, vocabulary and literary devices
  • Matched to the National Curriculum for KS2 English, Years 3 to 6
  • Full answers online from the Schofield and Sims website

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

Eight questions test understanding of a story, including vocabulary, collective nouns and explaining the moral

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.
