Review: Good variety of texts. Well worth it. - My 7 year old likes to read and his reading is above average for his age. But his reading interests are somewhat limited to stories and I also felt that he rushes through books without really thinking about them in sufficient depth. So I wanted something that will broaden his reading and compel him to really think about what he is reading. This book does that job really well. It has a good variety of texts including poetry and even an extract of an autobiography. It also has one text called "Dipping into the Dictionary" that provides examples of the layout of words and definitions on a dictionary page. The questions require careful consideration of the text. My son was initially a reluctant reader of poetry but now I feel he may even enjoy it a bit. The book does not contain any answers. So I also bought the teacher's guide. This book without the teacher's guide is useful enough but the combination makes this complete and helps get most out of it. One minor shortcoming of the booklet is the length of the texts. In KS1 SATs pupils are presented with longer texts than what's presented in this booklet. But I feel this is a deliberate choice made to keep the text to one page so the related questions could be on the following page on a two page spread. We have nearly finished this booklet and I have recently also bought "First Comprehension 2". We all rely on good reviews for online shopping.

Review: Good introduction to reading comprehension - I bought this book so my son could get used to reading more varied texts. He is a good reader but prefers dogman and comic books ideally. This book is giving him exposure to other interesting reading material. There is poetry, fiction, non fiction. The questions are quite straight forward but some you do have to think about. He is 7 year 2 and I thought it was perfectly pitched at his level. There are no answers in the book just questions but I also bought it for handwriting practice which this does in an engaging way. I don’t think you need the teachers guide really as the questions are pretty straight forward. I hope you found this review helpful. ## Features - SCHOFIELD & SIMS LTD ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 5,339 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 265 in Education & Reference Material for Young Adults 277 in Children's Books on Reading & Writing 1,069 in School Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 518 Reviews | ## Images ![First Comprehension Book 1: Year 2, Ages 6-7 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ItKvmntxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good variety of texts.

It's been an excellent introduction for him to lots of different types of literature and I like that it's contained pieces of classic books like The Enormous Crocodile as well as some things that were new to us. There's often not quite enough space to write the answer to some of the questions, but at the same time it's good that the answers required are quite succinct and not too demanding of a 6 year old boy in terms of handwriting! He's looking forward to starting book 2. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/49919377-first-comprehension-book-1-year-2-ages-6-7](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/49919377-first-comprehension-book-1-year-2-ages-6-7) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
