How to use these worksheets at home
- Do one grammar sheet and one comprehension sheet each week, not two of the same. English at this stage needs both a rule bank and reading stamina.
- Read the comprehension passage aloud once before answering. At Class 4+ reading speed determines exam scores as much as understanding does.
- For grammar, insist your child writes the full sentence, not just the answer word. Writing full sentences is how CBSE English marking schemes actually award marks.
- Keep a small notebook for new vocabulary from the passages. Ten words a week beats a thousand-word list once a term.
