About the Phonics Activity Book for Ages 5-6 (Year 1)

If your Year 1 child is learning to decode sounds and blend words, the Phonics Activity Book for Ages 5-6 (Year 1) from CGP offers clear, colourful practice that builds reading and spelling confidence from the ground up. Designed for five- and six-year-olds following the English National Curriculum, this workbook turns tricky phonics patterns into fun, hands-on activities that help early readers master letter sounds, vowel combinations, and simple word building without frustration.

Page showing 'u and a' phonics activities with illustrated examples
Bright, illustrated 'How It Works' explanations followed by 'Now Try These' exercises that reinforce vowel sounds in everyday words

Each page pairs a friendly explanation with engaging tasks—circling, colouring, matching, and reading aloud—so children see how the same letter can make different sounds depending on the word. The step-by-step approach keeps learners on track, while colourful pictures and clear instructions mean parents can support practice at home without needing a teaching qualification. Full answers are included at the back, so you can check progress quickly and celebrate every small win.

Page showing 'i, o and e' phonics activities with illustrated examples
Structured practice exploring how letters i, o, and e change pronunciation, with matching and reading exercises using relatable images

Regular practice with this workbook helps Year 1 pupils decode unfamiliar words independently, paving the way for fluent reading and accurate spelling. By building phonics knowledge little and little, your child gains the tools to tackle new texts with less hesitation and more enjoyment. The result is a reader who feels ready to explore books, labels, and instructions confidently, supported by the firm phonics foundation the National Curriculum expects.

This single workbook suits any Year 1 learner who is starting to sound out words or needs extra reinforcement at home. Its bright design and practical exercises make phonics approachable, while the included answers let you guide practice without second-guessing. A reliable companion for building early literacy skills alongside school teaching.

  • Year 1 phonics practice covering vowel sounds, letter patterns, and simple word building for ages 5–6
  • Colourful illustrated activities including circling, matching, and reading aloud to reinforce decoding skills
  • Full answers at the back so you can check work and support your child's progress with confidence
  • Aligns with the English National Curriculum to complement classroom phonics teaching
  • Physical workbook dispatched quickly to your door
