11 Plus, English Exam Support for Students with Additional Needs

This 11 Plus Unit contains a reading practice paper, reading fluency support, a writing picture prompt, plan and model answer. It is designed for students who struggle with reading fluency, spelling and structure.

The reading practice paper has a section in which the student learns to pronounce targeted vocabulary and read specific phrases/sentences taken from the text. It involves copying syllabified words in different colours to aid visual memory.

After reading the Extract - taken from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde - practice exam questions are provided. The extracts are often taken from novels/novellas/short stories which are challenging to read and the pre-reading tasks should help students access the content of the extract.

The writing section contains a picture prompt, model response and planning rubric. The picture prompt is one of the options in the creative writing section of the paper.

By familiarising themselves with the style of writing required, students gain confidence in writing their own description.

A colour code spelling activity is provided to practice spelling key words from the descriptive model response.

The unit provides materials to provide inclusive support for dyslexic students and enable them to make progress!
