We've been using Exam Ninja since my daughter was in Year 2, and it has been really helpful. The resources are excellent and have made a big difference in supporting her learning and building her confidence. She enjoys using them, and I've found them very useful for revision and practice at home. Highly recommended!

About the Year 4 Comprehension Workbook (Ages 8-9)

If you're looking for a straightforward way to help your Year 4 child (ages 8–9) strengthen their reading comprehension, the Year 4 Comprehension Workbook from Scholastic delivers exactly that. Matched to the National Curriculum for England, this workbook offers clear, focused practice that builds the core skills your child needs to understand, analyse and respond to a wide range of texts. Whether you're supporting homework or want extra practice at home, it provides the structure and reassurance busy parents need.

Inside, you'll find a series of carefully structured exercises that guide your child through key comprehension techniques—from retrieving information and making inferences to understanding vocabulary in context. Each activity is designed to be accessible and engaging, so your child can work independently or with your support. The layout is clear and uncluttered, making it easy to see progress as they move through the book. Because it's matched to Scholastic's teacher resource series, the content aligns with what many schools are already using, giving you confidence that the practice is relevant and effective.

As your child works through the workbook, you'll notice growing confidence in tackling different text types and question formats. They'll learn to approach reading tasks methodically, picking out key details and explaining their thinking—skills that carry through to classroom assessments and beyond. The workbook is available now as a physical product, ready to be delivered to your door, so you can start supporting your child's reading journey straight away.
