I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the Reception English Writing Letters Workbook (Ages 4-5)

If your Reception child is ready to learn proper letter formation, the Reception English Writing Letters Workbook (Ages 4-5) from Schofield and Sims gives them a clear, structured pathway from first pencil grip to confident writing. Designed for children aged 4–5, this workbook builds the handwriting foundations that support every piece of writing they'll tackle throughout primary school and beyond.

Each letter is introduced one at a time and grouped by formation family, so your child learns movements that naturally flow together. The workbook opens with simple mark-making exercises to strengthen pencil control, then moves through straight lines, curvy lines, zigzags and mixed strokes before tackling individual letters. Friendly illustrations keep the activities engaging, while notes and tips for parents help you support practice at home. Key vocabulary is highlighted on every page, ensuring your child builds both motor skills and the language needed to talk about their writing.

Regular, short sessions with this workbook help your child develop a secure pencil grip, recognise letter shapes by their movement patterns, and gain the muscle memory for fluent handwriting. Part of the comprehensive Schofield & Sims Get Set Early Years series, it bridges the gap between play-based learning and the formal literacy expectations of Year 1, ensuring your child feels school-ready and confident. The workbook aligns with the Reception curriculum and is available as a physical product, shipped directly to your door.

  • Introduces letters one by one, grouped by formation family for easier learning and better retention
  • Begins with mark-making exercises to develop pencil grip and control before moving to letter shapes
  • Includes notes and tips for parents on every page, plus key vocabulary and extension activity ideas
