About the Reception English Reading & Rhymes Workbook (Ages 4-5)
If your Reception child is just starting to explore stories and sounds, the Reception English Reading & Rhymes Workbook (Ages 4-5) from Schofield and Sims offers a reassuring first step into reading and comprehension. Designed for four- and five-year-olds, this workbook uses familiar nursery rhymes and fairy tales to build vocabulary, early comprehension and storytelling skills in a way that feels playful rather than formal. It's part of the Get Set Early Years series, which bridges the gap between play-based learning and the structure your child will meet in Year 1, so you can be confident they're building the foundations the English National Curriculum expects.
Inside, your child will meet characters and settings from much-loved stories, explore opposite and similar words, practise writing captions, and discover how rhyme works. Each activity is illustrated to keep young learners engaged, and the back pages include notes and teaching tips for parents and carers—so you know exactly how to support your child at home, even if you're short on time. The workbook encourages children to listen carefully, recognise patterns in language, and talk about what they've read, all of which are essential skills for phonics and early literacy.

By the end of Reception, your child will have practised key English skills in a low-pressure, story-rich environment. They'll be more confident recognising words, understanding simple texts, and talking about characters and events—all crucial for the transition to Key Stage 1. Because the workbook is available as a physical product with UK shipping, you can start using it as soon as it arrives, fitting short, focused sessions into busy evenings or weekends. The result is a calmer, more school-ready learner who enjoys books and feels proud of their progress.

This workbook suits any Reception child who is beginning to show interest in stories, rhymes and letter sounds, and it works especially well alongside phonics teaching at school. The activities are short enough to hold a young child's attention but structured enough to deliver real progress, so you can feel confident you're giving your four- or five-year-old the best possible start in English without adding stress to your routine.
