I purchased these books for my grandson as he has dyslexia and needed a bit of extra help keeping up with his class. They have been a huge help over the years.

About the Reading Activity Book for Ages 4-5 (Reception)

Give your Reception child a confident start in reading with the Reading Activity Book for Ages 4-5 (Reception) from CGP. Designed for the youngest learners, this workbook makes early phonics and reading comprehension feel like play, building the foundation your child needs to decode words, understand simple sentences and enjoy stories from day one.

Inside, you'll find bright, illustrated activities that introduce letter sounds, blend simple words and guide children through short texts at exactly the right level. Each exercise is short, focused and carefully sequenced so your four- or five-year-old stays engaged without feeling overwhelmed. Full answers are included at the back, so you can check progress quickly and celebrate every small win together.

By working through this book, your child will grow into a more confident reader who recognises familiar words, follows simple stories and begins to answer questions about what they've read. Aligned with the English National Curriculum for Reception, it covers the essential phonics and early reading skills that set the stage for Year 1 and beyond, all in a format that feels rewarding rather than testing.
