Year 5 English Worksheets and Workbooks Age 10-11

Succeed in School with our Year 5 English Worksheets and Year 5 Workbooks

By Year 5, kids continue to make important strides in their social and emotional development and become capable of tackling a broader range of abstract topics.

Mrs Wordsmith's range of Australian Curriculum-aligned Year 5 worksheets, books, Year 5 workbooks, and games are designed to support kids through this exciting stage of life. Some of the resources described on this page are appropriate for other age groups as well, so you may have seen them before.

To help with spelling, try our Spelling Targeted Practice Year 5 English worksheets printable, which introduces the key spelling patterns that kids need to know for school at this age. Then, move on to our Spelling Mixed Practice printable for more revision. These cover an entire year of curriculum, including homophones, tricky spelling patterns, and tricky words. All of our Year 5 English worksheets are easy to print at home, and perfect for bite-size learning. 

You can also expand your child's vocabulary (and spark their creativity!) with our Storyteller's books. Word consciousness – knowledge of the way language works – is key to a rich vocabulary and the ability to tackle texts full of  unfamiliar words. Our Storyteller's Word a Day 1 and 2 foster this kind of word awareness and include hundreds of illustrated words and synonyms, word pairs, and story starters. Research shows that reading by itself is not enough to give kids the vocabulary they need to excel academically – explicit vocabulary instruction leads to better results. You can help kids further invigorate their writing with our Storyteller's Illustrated Dictionary. Featuring hilarious, outrageous illustrations and over a thousand words, this is the dictionary, reimagined. 

For more storytelling support, check out our How to Write a Story, a printable booklet of English worksheets for Year 5. How to Write a Story provides an illustrated framework that makes writing easy and fun for kids. Worksheets for Year 5 have never been so inspiring (or such a good cure for writer’s block)!

Another cure for writer’s block is a family game night featuring our Storyteller's Card Game. This hilarious game features 300 words to help kids improve their creative writing, and boost their imagination. It’s curated into six key themes – character, settings, taste and smell, action, emotion, and weather - to get those storytelling gears turning.

You'll find more fun Year 5 English worksheets in our Reading Comprehension printable. These worksheets are designed to introduce kids to new and challenging vocabulary found in reading comprehension exams and classic literature. The collection of Year 5 English worksheets includes 500 frequently occurring words, curated into short printable workbooks of 10 words at a time. It’s a manageable way to approach words that some kids might find intimidating!

Our resources are so fun and educational that kids will actually want to use them. Introduce them to your Year 5 student, and watch their confidence and creative horizons expand.
