I purchased these books for my grandson as he has dyslexia and needed a bit of extra help keeping up with his class. They have been a huge help over the years.

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
  • Extension activities and a review section with test-style questions round off each topic
  • Full answers in the back of the book

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

Year 8 students match text types to definitions, circle audiences, and complete a table analysing three short texts
Year 8 pupils match text types to definitions, circle audiences, and complete a table analysing three short texts.

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.

Students analyse three text extracts to identify persuasive and emotive language techniques and write an advert
Year 8 pupils analyse three text extracts to identify persuasive and emotive language techniques and write an advert.

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.

A Year 8 English exercise on themes using an extract from Oliver Twist, with short answers
Year 8 pupils analyse an extract from Oliver Twist to explain themes, judge statements and discuss character attitudes.

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.
