Comprehensive preparation for eleven plus exams, common entrance exams and grammar school selection tests.

A good grasp and knowledge of all aspects of English are essential to aid your child in preparing for their 11plus examinations, grammar school selection exams or common entrance examinations. This book contains 10 tests of 50 questions each based on the requirements of the National Curriculum and covering various aspects of  English such as punctuation, comprehension and spelling. Knowledge of all these items will help prepare your child for the demands of any eleven plus exam or twelve plus examination. English tests may form part of a common entrance exam or a grammar school selection exam. (This will vary from school to school. You should check details with your chosen grammar school or your local authority.)

This is a very comprehensive publication making use of a wide variety of texts including adverts, poems and stories. These are the sorts of texts that children will meet in their end of Key Stage tests at Key Stage 2 or some eleven plus exams or common entrance examinations. This book gives children a good introduction to the demands of written tests. No time limit is given and this allows parents to encourage their child to work through the tests at the child's own pace. The language used is very beneficial practice for future tests in verbal reasoning used by many LAs in 11plus examinations.

As with all Learning Together we encourage the involvement of parents to explain the answers to the child. Parental support is crucial to a child's success in their schoolwork. Preparing for the eleven plus exams, SATs or common entrance exams is no different.

Detachable answers and a comprehensive glossary are included.
