Gentle, scaffolded KS1 composition support: capital letters, full stops, finger spaces, joining with and, describing words. Auto-marked. Print or play.
KS1 English: Composition — Support is a gentle, scaffolded activity book for Years 1–2 composition, mapped to the DfE National Curriculum and designed to build confidence one idea at a time. Five friendly steps use worked examples and mostly two-choice questions to practise spotting the capital letter at the start of a sentence, spotting the full stop at the end, spotting neat finger spaces between words, joining two ideas with the word and, and picking a describing word from a short pair of choices. Every step is auto-marked on screen with a full answer key, or the whole book can be printed to work through slowly on paper. The tone is warm and encouraging with no pass or fail language. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Tip: pinch to zoom on mobile, or use the + / − buttons.
These five steps take writing slowly, one idea at a time, with a worked example on every page. You will spot the capital letter, spot the full stop, spot neat finger spaces, join two ideas with and, and pick a describing word. Read the tip first, then choose your answer — I'll check it with you. There is no rush and no way to fail: just keep trying.
This is a supportive KS1 composition workbook (Year 1) with mostly two-choice questions and lots of scaffolding, built to grow confidence. Read each worked-example tip together, then let your child choose the answer. Keep it calm and positive — praise the effort and the correct thinking, and come back to the same steps another day. The answer key lets you check every question.

Every step is checked with the "Check my answers" button, which marks each response and gives friendly feedback. Most answers are two-choice; a couple ask for a small typed word. Compare against the answer sheet for the full worked results, and re-try any step as often as you like.
