Are you looking for high-quality, GL style practice papers to help your students/children succeed in their exams? Written by an 11+ tutor of over 3 years (and a teacher of 5 years before that) these GL style practice papers are designed to help children improve reading comprehension and SPaG skills from the very beginning of their tuition journey. One of the biggest barriers I have found when tutoring the 11+ is that the vast majority of practise papers available are on par with the difficulty of the exam; for children just beginning their journey, these are often very difficult to access and can be demoralising for them. I have designed these papers to be challenging, but still accessible to children particularly in the first half of their 11+ tuition journey. Here’s what you can expect from my papers: Quality, interesting comprehension texts which move with the seasons, providing context and relevance to the reader. Line indicators on texts, as per standard GL examinations. 20 multiple choice comprehension questions - 5 possible answers for each. Specific spelling, punctuation and grammar questions, with a “identify the mistake” concept. Layout reflects that of the GL style examinations, ensuring early familiarisation. Full answer sheet with similar format to the examinations, ensuring early familiarisation. Answers included, with explanations if necessary. Enhance your child’s/student’s examination prep experience with these practise papers!

Simple worksheet for choosing the correct coins. Aimed at Year 2 children.
