Are you looking at Berks? (I ask because of your username).

This list is not Berks specific but you might like to take a look.

It is the CEM 11+ vocabulary thread on the section you have posted in.
Good luck.

Hello Berks Parent, welcome to the forum.
Using vocab lists will only bring limited benefit as generally the meaning of those words is not understood within a context. What would be better is to encourage your child to read a variety of books; when they come across words that they don't know the meaning of, get them to record such words, find the meaning, see how it was used in the context of the reading material; get them to formulate a few sentences using the word.

Hi, First Past The Post Vocabulary In Context is great for words in context. Short Classical comprehensions. My son didn't like fiction much so these were fab.
