Help required (11+ books or links) not sure where to start

Post by cm1106 »

Hi everyone,

My son gets distracted very easily. He is in year 3 at the moment. I am thinking of giving him 10-15 mins task everyday. I am not sure what shall I start with first. Can anyone please guide what books or links shall I refer for 11+?


Thanks in advance,
C

He’s still quite young so just concentrate on his general reading, writing and maths. There’s no need to even think about 11+ yet.

I think the usual advice for year 3 is to make sure they enjoy reading & that they start to get exposure to a wide vocabulary. Maybe word games? Also as time goes by to have a thorough grasp of the times tables. I think it's a little early for any real 11 plus practice, by the time year 6 arrives they will be thoroughly fed up & bored with the whole thing.
