Today’s session was focused on summarising stories. The after-session work is to choose 10 words from the text and write their synonyms. I told the children to choose simple and not-so-simple words and then write down the words closest to their meaning. Extra points for those who go the extra mile- write antonyms, make stories around the words or write sentences. Parents, please upload the work and/or write it down in the comments. The slides and the recordings will be uploaded to the Comprehension module later this week. Have a great evening 💫

We went on a text treasure hunt. Had loads of fun! 😻 The after-session work is to write a simple and small passage about an encounter/ adventure between Sammy and Horrid Henry. Parents, please upload the work and/or write down in the comments I will be uploading the slides and the recordings in the Comprehension module later this week. Have a great evening 💫

We worked on picture-perfect inferences. The children came up with interesting observances ❤️ Their after-session work is to draw the picture that comes to mind after reading this extract from Oliver Twist. Parents, please upload drawings in the comments and/or write down their account of the picture that comes to their mind. They know what I am speaking about. I will be uploading the slides and the recordings in the Comprehension module later this week. Have a great evening 💫

Comprehension is a big part of the 11-plus tests. It is the core of your dream school tests. Without it, it is like running on a sprained ankle—hopping, skipping, and ultimately falling over. If you are interested in your child attending, please fill out this form https://forms.gle/t3pryv3F99VMz2fA6 Comprehension is communication. Communication is possible not just through words but also visuals in the head that words can make. In our 5-day challenge, children will learn how to use techniques to get better at answering comprehension questions. I want your children to turn comprehension on its head, from a stumbling block to a stepping stone. It is free if you are part of the 11+ Journey OS course for parents. If you are not part of the course and you want to get your child to join the comprehension challenge, become a member of our free group. Then message me to find out how your child can join the challenge. ❤️
