11 Plus Vocabulary

Product Information

Download our 11+ Vocabulary List- Download our free Vocabulary List with 500+ words and work through twenty words each week with your child. We really can't see how it's possible to boost a child's vocabulary without this sort of work, it had everything- real learning activities, tests, revision, pieces of texts from classic books and even vocabulary puzzles which stretched our son no end. Using oral and written techniques, encourage your child to put the word into a sentence to confirm their understanding.

You could print out the list and use it as part of a display or use it to track how many words they've learnt so far. We’d encourage families to play these games because they really help to keep a wider vocabulary going. Paired Reading- Families should try and do some paired reading each week (where you both read a book together.

Interleaved worksheets is a practice technique where related topics are mixed such that the consecutive problems require different approaches. However, it's enough if your child knows what a word means without integrating it into their conversations.

The list also includes some of the more difficult words that are part of the current national curriculum for year six. This helps to broaden their language and allows them to have a record of new words that they have learnt. Not only will reading get your child’s skills in tip-top shape for the comprehension part of the 11 Plus, but reading, in general, is one of the best ways to expand vocabulary knowledge.This way, children can widen their vocabulary pool gradually and grasp the meaning of each individual word before moving on to the next one. In this book Rose McGowan sets out 100 exercises, to be completed one per day, to enhance your child's vocabulary. There are two specific parts of the exam that test your child’s vocabulary, namely the English section and the Verbal Reasoning part. Where a child cannot spell a word accurately or cannot accurately define it then mark it as needing work.
