Live small-group sessions building the comprehension, vocabulary and inference skills needed for 11+ success and beyond. Starting September — Sundays 6–7pm via Google Meet.
Every session covers the skills children need for 11+ success — in a live, interactive setting where every child participates.
Reading between the lines — understanding what a text implies, not just what it says. Essential for every 11+ comprehension paper.
Finding and using evidence from the text precisely. Locating, selecting and deploying information efficiently.
Building a broader word bank and developing strategies for working out unfamiliar words in context.
Structuring clear, concise written answers — moving from vague to precise, picking up the marks that matter.
Engagement, enjoyment and willingness to discuss texts. Confident readers become confident writers and thinkers.
Approaching a comprehension paper strategically — timing, question types and structuring responses to score marks.
Every session is deliberately structured — no sitting and listening. Every child participates.
A targeted vocabulary activity to activate prior knowledge and build word banks before the main text.
A carefully selected text — fiction, non-fiction or poetry — at 11+ level or above, chosen to challenge thinking.
Open discussion in a supportive environment. Every contribution matters — confidence built here transfers to written answers.
Structured questions — retrieval, inference, vocabulary, explanation — matching real 11+ and KS2 paper formats.
Specific, positive feedback. Children leave knowing exactly what they did well and one clear focus for next time.
