What the Grade 5 English course covers
The last English course puts grammar to work rather than naming it. Parts of speech are used in context, direct and indirect speech is introduced, a factual passage is read for meaning, and the writing unit covers paragraphs and the punctuation that holds them together.
The Grade 5 English course is two units, taken in order: Grammar That Works and Reading and Writing.
The course runs to 4 numbered lessons and 33 written questions, around 20 minutes of teaching. Most families take it over a few weeks. Each attempt draws a different set of questions, so repeating a lesson is practice rather than recall of the answer order.
This is the last English course on the site. Nothing is locked, so if these lessons are easy the next grade is one tap away, and if they are hard the grade below is too.
How English is taught here
English on this site is a reading course before it is anything else. Children start with the sounds letters make rather than their names, move to blending those sounds into whole words, and only then meet sentences, punctuation and the parts of speech that describe them.
How English runs from playgroup to Grade 5 sets out the full sequence and where this course sits in it.
Levels and scoring
Each lesson plays at Explorer, Challenger or Champion. Only first-try answers count towards stars, so a retry never inflates a score, and a lesson is mastered at 90 percent at Challenger or above. See how a lesson works for the full explanation.
Questions parents ask
How long does the Grade 5 English course take?
4 lessons and 33 questions, about 20 minutes of teaching. There is no streak to maintain and no deadline, so it can be done in one sitting or spread out.
What age is Grade 5 English for?
Ages 9 to 10 is the guide, but go by what your child can already do rather than by age. Nothing is locked for a visitor, so trying the level above or below costs nothing and takes one tap.
Is Grade 5 English free?
Yes, and without the usual catch. No account is needed, there is no advertising and there are no in-app purchases. It also works with no connection once the site is added to a home screen, or through the free Android app.
My child knows the alphabet. Where should they start?
Start at kindergarten rather than Grade 1. Knowing letter names is not the same as knowing letter sounds, and the kindergarten units separate the two deliberately. If the sound work is easy, moving up takes one tap.
