11+ Verbal Reasoning Book 2 contains questions on topics that include the following:-
More difficult alphabetical order questions which will advance your child’s ability in and knowledge of the alphabet. Rehearsing alphabet work will give them a strong understanding of the alphabet and will also help them in other Verbal Reasoning questions such as letter series or codes.
Children and adults both tend to find logical deduction (reading information) questions quite difficult and this book has a range of logic questions with varying difficulty. Some involve reading information to deduce a verbal answer while others require reading information to deduce a mathematical answer.
This question type can be time consuming questions but with relevant and targeted practice, supported by quality teaching and learning most children can improve their technique and therefore their skill at answering these questions.
The book also requires your child to complete mathematical tables in order to develop their learning in decimals, subtraction and addition. Instant recall of number facts is essential so that these facts can be applied to other Verbal Reasoning questions such as number series, algebra based questions or mathematical codes or problems. (Relevant questions are in the book.)
There is an assortment of maths based work that needs to be taught and revised and we include questions that are planned to improve your child’s skill in many areas of maths. There is also revision of many language based questions, included within the book, which are intended to improve your child’s vocabulary.
It is paramount that your child has a good vocabulary and general knowledge. Questions around jumbled words and jumbled sentences provide preparation and development in English that can then be applied to other English based Verbal Reasoning (VR) questions.
Creating compound words from two smaller words is a Verbal Reasoning question type that is often asked as part of the 11+ exam. To be able to do this quickly and accurately your child needs to have attempted and revised this question type more than once. Revising compound word lists is one way of improving word recognition before applying this knowledge to actual practice tests.
Code questions in the book will challenge your child while at the same time help them to improve their ability to tackle this question type.
Other questions in the book have been written to expand English and mathematical skills – skills that can then be used to improve overall scores in verbal reasoning tests.
There is a lot of work to be considered in 11+ Verbal Reasoning and the Schoolrun website provide a lot of very useful information.
As your child continues to study and review their Verbal Reasoning they will show improvement and what were once difficult questions will become easier and should cause your child less anxiety or worry.
