About the Year 8 English Targeted Workbook (Ages 12-13)

If your Year 8 child needs focused English practice that covers everything from Shakespeare to essay writing, the Year 8 English Targeted Workbook (Ages 12-13) delivers exactly that. Published by CGP and aligned to the National Curriculum, this workbook tackles reading comprehension, poetry, non-fiction texts, and vital writing skills in one manageable package. Every topic opens with a prior knowledge check to build confidence, then moves through carefully levelled questions that sharpen the skills examiners reward.

Sample page showing language techniques exercises with extracts from different text types

The workbook integrates different skills through extension activities, so your child learns to connect reading strategies with essay structure and creative writing. Each section wraps up with a review and test-style questions that mirror real classroom assessments, helping pupils gauge their progress before moving on. Full answers appear at the back of the book, making homework and independent study straightforward for both of you. Whether your Year 8 learner is catching up on comprehension or mastering Shakespeare, the CGP approach keeps practice varied and achievable.
