About the Reception English Phonics Workbook (Ages 4-5)

If your Reception child is just starting to blend letters into words, the Reception English Phonics Workbook (Ages 4-5) from Schofield and Sims offers a clear, structured path from simple digraphs like 'ff' and 'ss' through to trickier trigraphs such as 'igh' and 'ure'. Built around the Letters and Sounds framework, this workbook introduces each sound step by step, so your four- or five-year-old practises reading and writing with growing independence. Friendly illustrations and carefully sequenced activities keep young learners engaged, while notes for parents explain exactly how to support each new phoneme at home.

Sample page showing 'ng' sound activities with word-matching and poem tasks — Inside pages feature matching exercises and short poems to reinforce digraph sounds like 'ng'

Every page follows the same reassuring rhythm: your child hears the target sound, practises reading simple words, then applies the pattern through colouring, tracing or drawing tasks. High-frequency words and tricky words that don't follow standard phonics rules appear alongside each digraph, so reading fluency builds naturally. The workbook includes extension activities and teaching tips in a dedicated parent-and-carer section, giving you practical games and real-world prompts—like spotting 'oa' words on road signs or building a 'zz' bug—to embed learning beyond the page.

Notes for parents page with teaching tips, key vocabulary and extension activities for each phonics sound — Parent guidance page sets out clear teaching tips, key vocabulary and extension activities for every sound covered

By the end of the book, your child will confidently decode digraphs and trigraphs in simple sentences, recognise common exception words, and approach new texts with the decoding skills that underpin early reading comprehension. Aligned with the English National Curriculum for Reception, the workbook bridges playful exploration and formal literacy, helping your child feel ready for Year 1. Because it's a physical workbook, your child can revisit favourite pages, annotate freely, and build a tangible record of progress that celebrates each phonics milestone.

This Schofield and Sims resource suits any Reception pupil taking their first steps in phonics, whether you're reinforcing classroom teaching or filling gaps at home. The combination of systematic sound progression, visual cues and parent-friendly guidance means you can support your child's reading journey with clarity and confidence, one digraph at a time.
