Customer Reviews

A compact yet thorough and fun revision aid!
This book is clear and concise yet covers all the things a child needs to know for the subject at hand. I have just used this book as a revision aid with my 9 year old for Creative Writing and Comprehension. It is fun - children like the language used - and full of valuable helping points. I have been a teacher myself for 16 years - these books are excellent summaries! Can't remember the difference between a simile and a metaphor or what a compound sentence is? This will tell you! I can also highly recommend "The Tricky Bits" - more on grammar.

Makes English grammar fun
A revision guide which makes English grammar fun.

I'm a big fan of the CGP study guide series, and the KS 2 English Study Book is no exception. Our 10 year-old has worked her way through it with enthusiasm. The colourful, well-designed pages and humour make the book a surprisingly enjoyable read.

Although this book is aimed at English schoolchildren, I should have thought its comprehensive and comprehensible sections on grammar and usage (eg "When to start a new paragraph"; "Writing a formal letter") would be useful background reading for any student of the English language.

Helpful series of books for youngsters revising for SATS exams
The Study Books are a good series of books for children studying for SATS exams, they are helpful to any Parent not knowing what exactly is covered at school and break the National Curriculum down into easier to understand sections in a fun way. The language used is not the best but it does lighten the tone instead of being serious and boring.

Having bought the complete set for my son with hindsight I would have just stuck to the Study books without the Tricky Bit books as a lot of the work in them is duplicated in the Study book, the Study book has the advantage of question and answer sections in them as well.

Buy the Study books with a set of practice SATS papers (Questions and Answers) and your child will gain confidence.

Downside is that you then have to mark it all!.....
