English Comprehension
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 12:56 pm
Hi
Can anyone help?
DS has just done tests and was confident. We have now moved onto 11+ papers and he falls for every trick in the book! He speed reads, completes the papers in 20 mins when they should take 50, tells me he has checked it and you guessed it ..... gets at least a third wrong! The comprehension part is his downfall, the rest is progressing. He sits Bournemouth in November.
Can anyone offer advice?
He also has to do Maths and NVR which need to be completed really quickly and I suppose that could have made matters worse, although he does live by the motto "he who is first is the winner!"
