Years 5 & 6
Our Plan To Succeed workshops provide small group support to years 5 and 6 pupils, concentrating on English and Verbal Reasoning.
During a workshop children will dissect higher order comprehension texts and example verbal reasoning tests with key instructions and strategies on how to respond to different types of questions. Children will be exposed to a range of different test formats, in order to familiarise themselves with the different ways questions can be asked and to develop a toolbox of core techniques to best respond in an exam setting.
Areas covered over the course are:
English — Vocabulary, Word Types, Writing, Comprehension, Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar
Verbal Reasoning — Missing Letters, Odd Words, Analogy, Multiple Meanings, Ordering Words, Cloze Questions
To instil confidence and ownership with a relaxed, child-centric and academic environment
To explicitly teach specialised methods to support the answering of Verbal Reasoning and comprehension questions
To build a toolbox of methods and techniques that can be applied to different question types
To expose different text types and formats, providing familiarity and reducing the cognitive load in test-like settings
