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 Year 1 Phonics Workbook Book 1 (Ages 5-6)

If your Year 1 child is tackling phonics sounds and you want clear, focused practice that actually sticks, the Year 1 Phonics Workbook Book 1 (Ages 5-6) from CGP delivers exactly that. Designed for five- and six-year-olds following the English National Curriculum, this workbook targets essential phonics patterns—ay, ou, ie, ea, oy, ir, ue, aw, wh, ph, ew, oe, au, and many more—so your child builds the decoding skills they need for confident reading and spelling right from the start.

Contents page showing phonics topics covered in the workbook
The contents page lists every phonics sound and tricky word set covered, from ay and oy to wh and ph, with a grand finale activity at the end.

CGP's approach combines engaging illustrations with progressive activities that keep young learners interested without overwhelming them. Each sound is introduced through the 'Letters and Sounds' programme, then reinforced with colourful characters and carefully structured exercises that move from recognition to reading and writing. Because the workbook is self-contained and clearly sequenced, you can drop in for ten minutes of practice whenever it suits your routine, and your child will know exactly what to do on every page.

Sample workbook page showing phonics activities with word frames and illustrations
Inside, pupils find the card for the correct sound, write letters in word frames, and circle pictures that match sentences—all supported by friendly characters and clear instructions.

The result is a child who recognises tricky digraphs at a glance, segments and blends words with growing independence, and feels genuinely proud of their progress. Regular, bite-sized practice transforms phonics from a struggle into a skill, and that confidence flows straight into their classroom reading and writing. This workbook is a physical product that ships direct to your door, ready to support your Year 1 learner through every sound they need to master.

Perfect for parents who want structured, curriculum-aligned phonics practice without fuss, this CGP workbook suits any Year 1 child working on their decoding and early literacy. It's especially useful if you're looking for purposeful homework activities, extra support alongside school lessons, or simply a reliable way to keep phonics skills sharp throughout the year.

  • Covers ay, ou, ie, ea, oy, ir, ue, aw, wh, ph, ew, oe, au and other key Year 1 phonics patterns
  • Follows the Letters and Sounds programme used across UK primary schools
  • Colourful characters and varied activities keep five- and six-year-olds engaged
  • Develops reading comprehension, spelling, and early grammar skills in one workbook
  • Physical workbook ships to your home, ready for immediate use
