KS1 Worksheets (Ages 5–7)
KS1 (Key Stage 1) worksheets are practice sheets for children aged 5 to 7 in Years 1 and 2 of primary school in England. They follow the National Curriculum programmes of study for English and mathematics: phonics and spelling, reading comprehension, sentence and story writing, addition and subtraction to 100, and the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
Key Stage 1 is the two-year stretch in which children become independent readers and writers and move from counting to calculating. Year 1 is dominated by phonics and the screening check; Year 2 shifts to spelling rules, reading for meaning, longer writing, and mental addition and subtraction with two-digit numbers. Since the 2023/24 school year the end-of-KS1 SATs have been optional rather than statutory, so most schools now assess Year 2 through teacher judgement and their own short tests. That changes what practice at home is for: not test rehearsal, but steady fluency in the skills the National Curriculum expects. The worksheets on this page are grouped so that a Year 1 child can work on decoding and number bonds while a Year 2 child practises comprehension, spelling patterns and times tables from the same collection.

Ages 6-7 · Grade 1Ages 6-7 · Year 2Ages 6-7 · Class 1Ages 6-7
This overview page maps out everything covered in Month 1 of the ages 6-7 learning program, giving both children and parents a clear picture of what skills, from reading comprehension to number work to critical thinking, will be practiced across the month. Previewing a table of contents like this helps children ages 6-7 build early organizational awareness, understanding that learning happens in a structured sequence rather than as one-off, disconnected activities. Knowing what's coming also builds anticipation and motivation heading into each week's worksheets.
Month 3: Learning & Development | Ages 6-7 - Page 17
Ages 6-7 · Grade 1Ages 6-7 · Year 2Ages 6-7 · Class 1Ages 6-7
As part of a structured monthly learning sequence, this page gives children ages 6-7 continued practice across reading, observation, and critical thinking skills, building on the concepts introduced earlier in the Month 3 program. Working through a numbered page within a longer curriculum also helps children build the stamina and consistency needed for sustained, sequential learning.
Find and Draw India's Major Rivers Worksheet for Kids
Ages 5-8 · Kindergarten–Grade 2Ages 5-8 · Year 1–Year 3Ages 5-8 · UKG–Class 2Ages 5-8
This activity teaches children ages 5-8 to locate and draw ten of India's major rivers on a blank map, building map-reading skills and geographic memory of the country's physical features. Translating a written list into hand-drawn lines on a map also strengthens the connection between abstract information (a river's name and rough course) and concrete spatial representation.
Month 11: Learning & Development | Ages 6-7 - Page 16
Ages 6-7 · Grade 1Ages 6-7 · Year 2Ages 6-7 · Class 1Ages 6-7
This page serves as the table of contents for Month 11 of the Ages 6-7 Learning & Development plan, giving parents and teachers a clear map of the skills and worksheets covered that month, from literacy and math practice to critical thinking activities. Reviewing it first sets expectations for the pacing and variety of learning a 6-7 year old will encounter across the month.

Personal Pronouns Worksheet for Kids: Circle and Underline!
Ages 5-7 · Kindergarten–Grade 1Ages 5-7 · Year 1–Year 2Ages 5-7 · UKG–Class 1Ages 5-7
Circling the subject pronoun and underlining the object pronoun in each sentence teaches children ages 5-7 to recognize that pronouns play different grammatical roles depending on their position in a sentence, an important step toward more advanced grammar understanding. This careful, close-reading task also builds attention to sentence structure that supports stronger writing later on.

Ages 5-7 · Kindergarten–Grade 1Ages 5-7 · Year 1–Year 2Ages 5-7 · UKG–Class 1Ages 5-7

Punctuation Adventure: End Punctuation Worksheet for Kids
Ages 5-7 · Kindergarten–Grade 1Ages 5-7 · Year 1–Year 2Ages 5-7 · UKG–Class 1Ages 5-7
Children ages 5-7 practice choosing between periods, question marks, and exclamation points based on the meaning and tone of a sentence, a skill that connects punctuation directly to how a sentence should sound when read aloud. This builds the foundation for expressive, correctly punctuated writing later in school.
Color Addition Worksheet: Space Adventure!
Ages 5-7 · Kindergarten–Grade 1Ages 5-7 · Year 1–Year 2Ages 5-7 · UKG–Class 1Ages 5-7
This worksheet builds addition fluency by having children solve simple equations and then use each answer to determine which color to use in a corresponding section of a space-themed picture. For five- to seven-year-olds, this color-by-number format adds motivation to solve each problem accurately, since a wrong answer means the wrong color goes in the wrong spot and the final picture won't come together correctly.

What KS1 covers in English and maths
The KS1 English programme of study has four strands: word reading, comprehension, transcription (spelling and handwriting) and composition. By the end of Year 2 children should read most words fluently without overt sounding out, spell the Year 2 common exception words, and write short narratives and simple reports. The mathematics programme covers number and place value to 100, the four operations, fractions (halves, quarters, thirds), measurement, geometry and simple statistics.
- Phonics and spelling: Phase 5 and 6, suffixes -ing, -ed, -er and -est, contractions, common homophones
- Reading: fluency, retrieval and inference questions, sequencing the events of a story
- Writing: statements, questions, exclamations and commands; expanded noun phrases; past and present tense
- Number: place value to 100, addition and subtraction with two-digit numbers, 2, 5 and 10 times tables, halves and quarters
- Measurement, geometry and statistics: money, time to five minutes, properties of 2D and 3D shapes, tally charts and pictograms
End of KS1 assessments
Until 2023 all Year 2 children in England sat statutory KS1 SATs in reading and maths in May, with results used internally by schools. From the 2023/24 school year these tests became optional, and the Reception Baseline Assessment replaced them as the starting point for measuring progress to the end of Key Stage 2. Schools may still use the optional papers, but there is no requirement to, and results are not published. Teacher assessment against the curriculum remains the formal judgement at the end of Year 2.
How to use KS1 worksheets
Choose by skill, not by year label. A child in Year 2 who is still shaky on Phase 5 sounds should keep working on decodable passages; a Year 1 child with secure number bonds can start two-digit addition. Fifteen to twenty minutes is a sensible session. Alternate an English sheet and a maths sheet across the week, and read the finished sheet back together, because explaining an answer is where much of the learning happens.
Frequently asked questions
What does KS1 mean?
KS1 stands for Key Stage 1, the first stage of the National Curriculum in England. It covers Year 1 and Year 2, ages 5 to 7, and follows the Early Years Foundation Stage. Key Stage 2 covers Years 3 to 6. The KS1 programmes of study set out what children are taught in English, mathematics, science and the foundation subjects.
Are KS1 SATs still compulsory?
No. The end-of-KS1 tests in reading and mathematics were statutory until May 2023. From the 2023/24 academic year they became optional, so schools can choose whether to use the papers, and results are not collected nationally or published. Progress to Key Stage 2 is now measured from the Reception Baseline Assessment. Teacher assessment at the end of Year 2 continues.
What should a child know by the end of KS1?
By the end of Year 2 a child is expected to read fluently at roughly 90 words a minute, spell most common words and the Year 2 exception words, write in consistent handwriting with capital letters, full stops, question marks and commas in lists, add and subtract two-digit numbers mentally and on paper, recall the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, find halves and quarters, and tell the time to five minutes.
Which times tables are taught in KS1?
The National Curriculum requires the 2, 5 and 10 times tables by the end of Year 2, including the related division facts and recognising odd and even numbers. Year 1 lays the groundwork by counting in twos, fives and tens from zero. The 3, 4 and 8 times tables follow in Year 3, and all tables up to 12 × 12 are expected by the end of Year 4, when the multiplication tables check is taken.
How do KS1 worksheets differ from EYFS worksheets?
EYFS sheets are single-skill, picture-led and expect adult support: trace this letter, count these ducks. KS1 sheets expect independent reading of the instruction, written answers in words or number sentences, and sustained work for 15 to 20 minutes. They introduce comprehension questions, spelling rules, two-digit calculations and multiplication, none of which appear in Reception.
Can I download KS1 worksheets free?
Yes. Every sheet is available as a free watermarked PDF once you have signed up, with a limit of five downloads a day. An annual subscription lifts the limit and removes the watermark for the whole library of more than 1,000 worksheets and the printable activity-book packs. Sheets print on A4.
