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 8 English 10-Minute Weekly Workouts (Ages 12-13)

Year 8 English 10-Minute Weekly Workouts (Ages 12-13) gives your child structured, manageable practice that fits around busy school weeks. Published by CGP, this workbook delivers 36 quick-fire tests—one for every week of the academic year—designed to keep essential KS3 English skills sharp without overwhelming your 12–13-year-old. Each ten-minute workout begins with a warm-up question before progressing to more challenging tasks, ensuring steady progress across reading comprehension, spelling, punctuation and grammar, and writing. Full answers are included at the back, so you can check your child's work together and spot any gaps quickly.

The workbook tackles the full breadth of the KS3 English National Curriculum through a mix of fiction, non-fiction and poetry extracts, plus varied writing tasks that keep every session interesting. The warm-up and progressive question structure means your child builds fluency and recall week by week, rather than cramming before a test. A handy progress chart at the back lets you both track improvement over time, turning steady effort into visible achievement. Because every workout takes just ten minutes, it's easy to slot into a weekday evening or Sunday morning without disrupting homework or downtime.

By practising regularly throughout Year 8, your child will arrive at end-of-year assessments—and eventually GCSE—with a solid foundation in reading analysis, accurate writing and confident grammar. The step-by-step approach reduces revision pressure and helps pupils remember what they've learnt, building the independence and skill they need for tougher exams ahead. This is a physical workbook, so it ships straight to your door and your child can annotate, highlight and revisit completed tests whenever they need a refresher.

Ideal for parents who want a no-fuss, proven resource to support Year 8 English at home, this CGP workbook suits both confident readers looking to stay ahead and pupils who benefit from short, regular reinforcement. It complements classroom learning without adding stress, making consistent progress feel achievable for everyone.

  • 36 ten-minute tests covering reading comprehension, SPaG and writing across the full school year
  • Warm-up question in every workout, followed by progressively harder tasks to deepen understanding
  • Fiction, non-fiction and poetry extracts plus engaging writing activities aligned to the KS3 English National Curriculum
  • Full answers and a progress chart included so you can track improvement week by week
  • Published by CGP; physical workbook shipped to your address
