Reading Activity Book for Ages 4-5 (Reception) (CGP Reception Activity Books and Cards)

Ideal for beginners with lots of interest.

Lovely way to learn with a child

I ordered this practice book for my 5 year old son. It’s well designed and interesting. My son really enjoyed and learned a lot. I would recommend.

This book combines elements of spelling and reading.It starts out with exercises to add missing letters into words, and slowly builds up into more challenging exercises involving reading full sentences.Lots of very clear and attractive pics along the way, so everything is always crystal clear.And the pages are not to crammed, making them easy to read and not overwhelming for young learners.

I myself have used CGP books in a number of different ways with various young people through work and have always found them extremely useful, well laid out and gives a boost for students at home from the curriculum they are currently learning. To be honest, I even remember using them myself when I was at school a good few years ago now, they're that well established as a publisher! As a new parent to a little one, I was intrigued by this range aimed at younger students and excited to see what they have to offer and was happy to find the quality and challenges are the same with these books as I've previously used.This one is aimed at 4-5 year olds though they start from 3*. It is an English based book looking at encouraging reading skills and building on them. It is bright, educational and fun and it has easy to understand language and allows 4-5 year olds to practice along with what they are being taught at school with the content being separated into topics that have fun activities and challenges designed to build confidence and boost their knowledge. It allows them to practice their developing reading skills, building on what they've previously learnt at school and in prior CGP activity books and gives them extra challenges that test their understanding.I really like this book and the fact that you have answers in the back means parents or care givers can also check answers and help with corrections. I know sometimes supporting young ones at home can be daunting for some but with answers supplied you can help encourage your young one with no stress about what is right or wrong. I find these encourage great conversation, especially when completed supported and I look forward to completing this with my little one when he is ready.

Great amount of activities perfect age range my little one absolutely loves this would highly recommend

This book is marketed for children aged 4-5. As a teacher, I would say this book would be more suited to children in the summer between Reception and Year 1 when they are fully confident with the Phase 3 phonics. For example, the children are expected to read “It is freezing at the cabin, so do not forget to bring a coat.” “Carl thinks it is boring” and more as part of multiple sentence texts before answering questions relating to them.It does still require a parent to read the question or task to the child and with limited questions per page, it would need time set aside for you to focus fully with your child.The book is bright and colourful making it very engaging for children.

I can’t recommend this enough if I’m honest. It’s working wonders for my child starting school this year. He’s lagging a bit with reading and this book has made it fun and we sit and do a page every night.Every parent with a child starting school would benefit from this little book to go through. Lovely colours to attract your child’s attention and a great price.
