11+ Essentials - Verbal Reasoning: Vocabulary Puzzles Book 1 (First Past the Post®)

ISBN: 9781912364749

This 11 plus verbal reasoning book provides fun practice to help learn vocabulary. A good vocabulary is at the heart of all 11 plus and Common Entrance exams. This book comprises 34 puzzles, including crosswords and word searches, which cover synonyms, antonyms and homophones. Also included is a progress chart at the back of the book, so your child can chart their own progress through the book to see how they are improving.

Both the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections of the 11 plus exams typically contain questions requiring a good understanding of synonyms, antonyms and homophones. The Vocabulary Puzzle Book aims to test a child's knowledge of these in a fun and engaging way with crosswords and word searches.

The book contains four sections: Synonyms, Antonyms, Homophones and Mixed Puzzles. Each of these sections is organised into three difficulty levels: Easy, Intermediate and Advanced. There is a handy Word Jotter and definition section on every page, which is there to ensure the child is actively looking up words they do not understand.

There is also a proverb at the end of each page to enhance their knowledge of the English language. Extensively classroom tested by Eleven Plus Exams, all 11+ Puzzles are perfect for use both in the classroom and at home.
