Hi all,
Those using tutor, please can you tell me a bit about the word lists your tutor uses? I met a mum yesterday who said her tutor gave her DD 2000 (TWO THOUSAND!!) words. I made a list from the words DD identified from books, papers and bond books. We have just over 500. We are DIYing and with just a couple of months left now, please can anyone help me find more?
My DD went to a tutor for her 11+ preparations but she was not given any word list. The tutor (and us) encouraged her to read a variety of books. If she came across a word that she didn't know the meaning of, she would find the meaning from the dictionary, write a couple of sentences using that word to make sure that she understood the meaning; We encouraged her to also think of possible synonyms/antonyms for the word.
If you are really after a word list, there are some books available in the shops (I have seen my friend's DC use them). There was also a collection of words on this forum
