About the Year 8 English Targeted Workbook (Ages 12-13)
Here are our top reasons to buy the Year 8 English Targeted Workbook (Ages 12-13):
- Covers reading comprehension, writing, Shakespeare and poetry in one 104-page workbook
- Matched to the National Curriculum for Year 8 English (ages 12-13)
- Prior knowledge checks open every topic, so your child sees what they already know

Year 8 English asks your child to read closely and write well, and this workbook gives them practice in both.

The questions here follow the National Curriculum for Year 8, so the texts and tasks match the sort of work your child meets in class. Non-fiction, poetry and Shakespeare all get their turn. A Year 9 child who never quite settled with essay writing can use it to go back over the basics.

This 104-page printed workbook works topic by topic. A prior knowledge check comes first, then questions, then a review with test-style questions. The sample pages show pupils sorting text types by audience and purpose, and picking out persuasive language in three short extracts.

Extension activities ask your child to bring skills together, such as writing an advert of their own. Answers sit in the back, so they can mark a section and see where to look again.
