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 3 (Ages 5-6)

If your Year 1 child is ready to tackle alternative spellings and trickier sounds, CGP's Year 1 Phonics Workbook Book 3 (Ages 5-6) delivers focused practice that builds reading confidence step by step. Designed for five- and six-year-olds following the Letters and Sounds programme, this workbook zeroes in on alternative spellings for sounds including ai, ee, oa, s, e, j, o, oo, ow, oi and ur—essential building blocks for fluent reading and spelling throughout Key Stage 1.

Sample page showing tricky words activities with matching and sentence tasks
Bright, engaging pages introduce tricky words like 'any', 'please', 'laughed' and 'once' through matching and sentence exercises

Each page pairs colourful characters and clear instructions with varied activities that keep young learners interested—matching pictures to captions, circling sounds, underlining phonemes and copying words into boxes. The workbook's short, structured tasks make it easy to fit practice into busy family routines, so your child revisits key sounds without feeling overwhelmed. Because the activities are hands-on and visual, children quickly grasp how different letter combinations create the same sound, building both decoding skills and early spelling strategies.

Sample page demonstrating 'ch' and 'ear' sounds with listen, circle and copy activities
Clear sound-focus pages guide children to listen, circle and copy words containing 'ch' digraphs in different spellings

With regular use, your child will recognise alternative spellings faster, decode unfamiliar words with less hesitation, and approach new texts with growing independence. The workbook aligns with the English National Curriculum expectations for Year 1 phonics, so every exercise reinforces classroom learning and prepares pupils for the Phonics Screening Check. Because CGP's approach balances repetition with variety, children stay motivated while consolidating the phonics knowledge they need for confident reading and writing throughout primary school.

This single workbook suits any Year 1 learner who has mastered basic single-letter sounds and is ready to explore how letters work together in new ways. It works equally well as a supplement to school phonics lessons, a catch-up tool during holidays, or a confidence booster before assessment, giving you a straightforward resource that supports steady phonics progress at home.

  • Alternative spellings for key sounds: ai, ee, oa, s, e, j, o, oo, ow, oi, ur and more, following the Letters and Sounds programme
  • Colourful characters and engaging activities keep five- and six-year-olds motivated across every page
  • Hands-on tasks—matching, circling, underlining and copying—build decoding and early spelling strategies
  • Aligns with English National Curriculum expectations for Year 1 and supports Phonics Screening Check preparation
  • Published by CGP as a physical workbook, ready to support steady phonics progress at home or in the classroom
