Which workbooks after songbirds Phonics Activity?

[Snowbored]

My DC (8&11) are working through these Julia Donaldson's Songbirds Activity books 1-8. What would you recommend as a next stage? They're not learning English at school, so it's something extra.

They know basic grammar terms (verbs, nouns, adjectives) and they read a fair bit in English but they write phonetically from their local language. I'd like to encourage them to practice writing, spelling etc. I need something not too complicated and not too babyish! But also something fun that they can dip in and out of when they moan "I'm bored Mummy".

We've bought quite a few over lockdown - Collins, CGP and Progress with Oxford as well as the Songbirds ones.

The CGP ones are the most comprehensive and seem to actually cover more of the curriculum rather than just supplement it. However, they are black and white and my kids are less keen. The Collins ones are in colour but no stickers.

The Progress with Oxford ones seem the most similar to the Songbirds in style, in colour and with some stickers. We have 2 of the age 5-6 ones, one on phonics and one on grammar punctuation and spelling. If you look for them on Amazon they have several pages and the contents page you can look at to give you some idea if they'll work for you.

Sorry have just seen the age of your DC, progress with Oxford do for older ages as well if the level of the 5-6 ones isn't right.

Thanks, that's the kind of thing I need to know! They don't need to be curriculum based as they're not learning in school, but they do need to be fun. Their English writing/grammar skills are very basic at the moment, certainly not on a level of similar aged children in the UK as it's not their native language.
