It is widely accepted that the easiest way to memorize any new material is by enjoying the learning involved. However, achieving an Eleven Plus level of vocabulary has often been an onerous task with emphasis placed on just a few types of study, chief of these being the ubiquitous stack of flash cards, word lists, and monotonous workbooks. It does not have to be this way.

The best way to develop a dynamic vocabulary – a wonderful and useful tool regardless of exams – is to read widely. However, to reach examination standard in a shorter timeframe, this book offers a diverse selection of word challenges tailored to adhere to the requirements of the Eleven Plus.

The goal of these photocopiable materials is to give your child fun activities that will greatly improve their ability to retain new vocabulary. It can also be useful beyond the day of the exam and enable you to know that whatever the result, the learning period will have been time well spent. Many traditional pencil and paper games, puzzles and word challenges are included.
