English for Years 1–6:
from phonics to SATs
Many children speak well but lose marks when they write: spelling, capital letters, full stops and grammar. Our English practice works on exactly that. Spelling words return again and again until they stick; sentence practice builds the habit of capital letters and correct punctuation; reading questions check understanding.
Five steps that make correct English automatic
Listen and write
Spelling words are read aloud, so your child hears the word, writes it, and checks it — the same dictation habit used in school spelling tests.
Practise until it sticks
Tricky words and patterns come back again and again rather than being asked once and forgotten, so the correct spelling becomes automatic.
Write it correctly
Sentence correction practice builds the habit of capital letters, full stops and accurate spelling in a full sentence, not just in isolation.
Read and understand
Comprehension questions check your child has understood what they've read, not just decoded the words on the page.
Instant marking, visible progress
Every answer is marked straight away, and parents can see exactly which skills are strong and which need more practice.
English — what children practise by year group
Practice is matched to your child’s year and the National Curriculum. Select a year below for the full topic list.
Exam-aligned English practice
Two national checks shape English practice at either end of primary school — your child practises exactly these skills along the way, not just in the run-up to the test.
